A review of current international research

Leading international experts summarize up-to-date findings on the
presentation, diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapy of cerebral artery
dissection.
Several topics, such as the first animal model of cervical artery
dissection, the epidemiology and its association with connective
tissue abnormalities in skin and arteries, genetic approaches in the
study of risk factors as well as the main etiologies of spontaneous
and traumatic cervical artery dissection are discussed. The book also
gives an insight into the clinical manifestations of carotid and
vertebral artery dissection and to the possibilities and limitations
of the main diagnostic tools, ultrasound, CT and MR imaging, and
angiography.
The last part of the publication presents the prognosis, thrombolysis
and antithrombotic therapy of cervical artery dissection and
concludes with an overview of intracranical dissection.
Specialists in neurology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, internal
medicine as well as general practitioners will find this publication
a useful and unique review of the present knowledge and future
research directions of this still poorly understood disease.
