J Neurol. Furthermore, cervical artery dissections in patients 60years are often painless and mechanical triggers missing [60]. Measurements of acute cerebral infarction: a clinical examination scale. Speck V, Noble A, Kollmar R, Schenk T. Diagnosis of spontaneous cervical artery dissection may be associated with increased prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder. Magnetic resonance angiography is the gold standard diagnostic test. Cervical artery dissection, including VAD and carotid artery dissection, are rare complications of pregnancy. At follow-up assessment, group M showed the best distribution of mRS scores in direction to better ones and group D the worst with a significant higher mean score of mRS. Group-related changing in mRS scoring between time points t1 (baseline) and t2 (6months follow-up), group D patients with dissection; group I patients with ischemia without dissection; group M stroke mimics; mRS modified Rankin Scale; n. s. not significant, * significant difference. Apart from (1) the computer-based test battery for alertness, divided and selective attention (TAP) [24], all other tests were paper and pencil tests: (2) Trail Making Test (TMT A and B) for combined attention and executive function [25], (3) the Tower of London (TL-D) for executive function [26], (4) mental rotation (LPS 7) for visual-spatial function [27], (5) the Five-Point Test (5PT) for spatial-cognitive function [28], (6) the Regensburger Wortflssigkeitstest (RWT) for verbal fluency [29], (7) Verbal Learning and Memory Test (VLMT) [30], (8) Block tapping (BT) for the visual digit span [31] and (9) the Finger Tapping Test (FTT) for the hand motor function [32]. Clinical prediction of functional outcome after ischemic stroke: the surprising importance of periventricular white matter disease and race. We present a case of spontaneous VAD in a patient whose only symptoms at presentation were neck pain and headache. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of stroke in patients younger than 45 years. 2011;92(5):7928. Afterwards we developed a multivariate regression model using variables that have proven statistically significant at the univariate analysis at a significant level of 5% (p<0.05). Trends towards worse cognitive function without statistical significance were found in group D and I compared to group M for the following cognitive domains: divided and selective attention (TAP), combined attention and executive function (TMT A and B), mental rotation (LPS-7), and spatial cognitive function (FPT). The inclusion criteria were (1) a reliable diagnosis, (2) age between 18 and 85years, and (3)] medically stable psychological and physical condition for testing, i.e. Cerebrovasc Dis Extra. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Jokinen et al. Last reviewed by a Cleveland Clinic medical professional on 08/07/2022. Depending from the availability of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography as well as the awareness of physicians VAD has been increasingly diagnosed in recent years. CAS We found reduced QOL at 6-month follow-up, as scored by SS-QOL3.9, despite good functional outcome (mRS 02) in a prevalently high percentage of about 40% in VAD patients. Because previous studies have shown no crucial role of neurovascular risk factors or sociodemographic factors for QOL of VAD patients, we focused our analysis of potential contributing factors for QOL on previously less investigated neurological, neurocognitive and psychological variables with special respect to the biopsychosocial model [12]. Subgroup-analyses were calculated for patients with mRS 02 and SS-QOL4.0 versus those with mRS 02 and SS-QOL3.9. Hrting C, Markowitsch HJ, Neufeld H, Calabrese P, Deisinger K, Kessler J. WMS-R. Wechsler Gedchtnistest revidierte Fassung. The risk of dying can be as high as 1% to 3% per hour until the patient gets treatment. Likewise, there was no statistical group difference of the mean values of the total quality of life score measured by SS-QOL. 1975;12(3):18998. Medical therapy and ongoing monitoring can help people with vertebral artery dissection avoid complications. They were almost 20years older than in other large study samples ( [3], mean age 439 [57], mean age 41.19.9]. They most probably reflected stroke lesion-associated cognitive impairments whereas stroke mimics without any lesions did show normal scores. Because recurrence of stroke or dissection is very low despite a mostly lacking morphological artery recanalization and it is nearly limited to the first weeks after dissection, it was questioned by Leys and Debette (2006) [4] what are the appropriate clinical monitoring parameters for follow-up. In line with previously published and reviewed data [36], the rate of ischemic recurrence of 9% in our VAD patients (literature estimates between 0 and 13.3%) and rate of recurrent dissection of 3% (literature estimates between 0 and 25.0%) were low. Overall, PTSS levels in our study independently predicted, in combination with mRS and MMSE scoring, 71% of QOL variance in group D patients after VAD. 1980;137(5):53544. Stroke. (2009) [6], mean age 46years, Czechowsky et al. The aim of this study was therefore as follows: (1) to evaluate the characteristics of patients after VAD with special focus on those with bad quality of life despite good functional outcome in comparison with positive and negative control patients in a prospective comparative study design (2); to identify contributing factors to quality of life after VAD, considering neurological, cognitive, and psychological variables (3); to identify the predictive factors for quality of life after VAD. (2013) [16], (2) VAD with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) because it is considered to show distinct disease-related features [17], (3) acute preexisting psychological disorder, (4) alcohol or other substance abuse, (5) strong psychopharmacological medication, i.e. Chicago: University of Chicago Press; 1947. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2588305/). Mean MoCA values of group D (24.24) and I (24.86), however, displayed slightly pathological scores. Adding one additional base point in all individuals our self-constructed cognitive composite score (CCS) showed a range from score 1=normal to 10=completely pathological. 2009;256(3):4439. All participants have given written informed consent. Antiplatelet treatment compared with anticoagulation treatment for cervical artery dissection (CADISS): a randomised trial. Hemorrhagic stroke was found to result in a lower survival rate or lower level of functionality than ischemic stroke. The vertebral arteries have many small branches. The prevalence of 73.6% VAD patients with ischemic stroke and 14.7% with TIA in our study corresponded well to 67% (114 patients) and 10% (17 patients), respectively, in a large European multicenter prospective study on patients with first-ever spontaneous VAD [3]. The type of cause for ischemia in the group I was categorized according to the TOAST criteria [14]. The majority of dissected arteries showed (subtotal) occlusion (n=25; 67.6%) or stenosis (n=8; 21.6%), the remaining ones no stenosis at all (n=4, 10.8%). TOAST. Six patients died within 3 months, the remaining 108 were contacted after It combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with angiography to capture detailed images of your vertebral arteries. Group-related mean values were below this cut-off level and not significantly different between groups: group D 27.1513.10, group I 23.848.74, and group M 26.129.55. As a key result, higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms appeared to be a prominent contributing factor to bad QOL in VAD patients with otherwise good functional outcome. Lower scores of both global screening systems, MMSE and MoCA, were independent negative predictors for QOL at follow-up in univariate regression analysis. For more extensive testing, a neuropsychological test battery was used with cognitive tasks of nine cognitive domains with possible reference to cognitive functions of the anatomical structures of the posterior circulation, in particular the cerebellum. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 2016;87(5):52630. We think increased PTSS levels were neither decisively stroke unit-related, as they were less frequent in comparison group I and M patients who were also treated on the stroke unit, nor disease-specific, as they were also present in group I and M. PTSS levels have been still prevalent in group D which might be explained by the stress-vulnerability model [53]. The cut off in the German version is defined as a score of 40 points with a sensitivity of 82% and a good specificity of 92%. Helmstaedter C, Lendt M, Lux S. Verbaler Lern- und Merkfhigkeitstest (VLMT). 3rd ed. Previous VAD studies mainly focused on classical outcome endpoints such as mortality and recurrence rate. The importance of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) for QOL in our VAD patients was a new finding and further stressed by our subgroup analysis as follows. 1993;24(1):3541. Another 66years old patient with medulla oblongata infarction deceased due to nonspecific heart failure and was lost for follow-up; in group I one stroke and two myocardial infarcts occured; group M remained without any vascular event. (2) Broad neuroimaging of cervical arteries including cervical MRA was regularly applied to patients of all age groups and risk profiles whenever differential diagnosis of VAD appeared to be possible. Koolhaas JM, Bartolomucci A, Buwalda B, de Boer SF, Flugge G, Korte SM, et al. Therefore, pathological alterations might have been either too subtle for detection, the applied neuropsychological tests not sensitive enough, or the study cohorts too heterogenous. The variance of total QOL was determined by neurological, neurocognitive and psychological predictive factors. In this interview, Amy Wells talks candidly about her stroke and how life has changed for the better in the (https://bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12883-019-1541-x), Visitation, mask requirements and COVID-19 information. The datasets used and analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. In recent years, however, patient-centered outcome measures such as quality of life (QOL) gained increasing importance. Posttraumatic stress symptoms, severity of neurological disorders, and impaired neuropsychological baseline performance proved to be independent predictors for reduced QOL at follow-up according to regression analysis. Halstead WC. However, vertebral artery dissection is a common cause of stroke in young and middle-aged adults. 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44195 |, Important Updates + Notice of Vendor Data Event, (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441827/). Inpatient rehabilitation for several weeks was performed in 48.5% patients of group D, 60.5% of group I and in only one patient (4%) of group M. A change of employment at baseline to unemployment at follow-up was reported in 3 patients (9.4%) in group D, 5 patients (13.5%) in group I and 2 patients in group M. Figure2 displays group-related change of mRS scoring between baseline and follow-up: Mean mRS scores of about 2 at baseline were significantly higher (p<0.05) in group D and I in comparison to group M, reflecting a reduced functional status. PubMed Herzogenrath: Vera Fimm; 2009. Brott T, Adams HP Jr, Olinger CP, Marler JR, Barsan WG, Biller J, et al. Published data about the possible impact of stenosis or occlusion of dissected vertebral artery to outcome have been rare and inconsistent so far. Subgroup analysis yielded significantly higher scores for posttraumatic stress symptoms (p=0.002) in this subgroup. It provides seven scoring levels as follows: (0) no symptoms at all, (1) no significant disability despite symptoms, (2) slight disability, (3) moderate disability, (4) moderately severe disability, (5) severe disability, and (6) dead. Although functional outcome was good in the majority of their cases, the surprising main finding was a bad quality of life, measured by Stroke Specific Quality Of Life scale (SS-QOL) [7] despite of good functional outcome, scored by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) [8], in about 15% [5] to 30% of cases [6]. BMC Neurology GA compendium of neuropsychological tests. A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician. As the key finding, our subgroup analysis of these VAD patients showed significantly higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (p=0.002) and of pre-baseline anxiety symptoms (p=0.006) being associated with patients with good functional outcome (mRS02) and bad QOL compared to those with good functional outcome (mRS 02) and good QOL. In the trauma bay, he complained of chest pain and dyspnea. In this context the following aspects seem to be worthy to note: First, elevated scores of stress symptoms were also found in patients without any stroke lesion in our study in line with other study results [50]. Thirty-one of 62 study participants completed 18.922.72months after discharge four tests of attention and memory function. The Neurological Institute is a leader in treating and researching the most complex neurological disorders and advancing innovations in neurology. Further subgroup analysis was performed in subgroups D and I by comparison of variables potentially affecting quality of life such as age, gender, neurocognition at baseline (MMSE, MoCA), neurostatus at baseline (NIH-SS), grade of white matter lesions (WML), burden of ischemic stroke lesions, premorbid (pre-baseline) symptoms of anxiety or depression (HADS), stress symptoms at follow-up (PTSS-14), and extent of decrease of QOL from pre-baseline to follow-up (Table3).

Vertebral artery dissections can be divided into two groups: extracranial dissection (with or without intracranial extension) intracranial dissection. (2009) [6]. It comprised standardized self-rating protocols for neurostatus (mRS), stroke specific QOL and posttraumatic stress symptoms, and in addition open questions for the clinical course. 2018;3(1):4756. The statistical data analyses were conducted using SPSS Statistics Version 22 and WinStat, Bad Krozingen. Incidence and outcome of cervical artery dissection: a population-based study. Important non-vascular incidents were a newly diagnosed prostate cancer with radiation therapy in group D and an inpatient treatment for depression in one patient as well as a single epileptic seizure in another one in group I. The finding of more neurocognitive impairments in form of lower mean values in cognitive measures in patients with ischemic lesions of both group D and group I patients did not reach significance. The method of evaluation, i.e. Tourette syndrome is a childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by involuntary or urge-driven motor and vocal tics. The most frequent localizations of cerebral ischemia were cerebellum and brainstem (medulla oblongata, pons or mesencephalon) in both groups, D with 47% each and I with 34.2 and 42.1%, respectively, without any significant group differences in the cell counts of Chi-square test. Even if WML predominated in groups D and I compared to stroke mimics, they showed no significant inter-group difference. Measuring quality of life in a way that is meaningful to stroke patients.

The vertebral artery provides 20% of blood flow to your brain (the carotid artery supplies the other 80%). Google Scholar. Five-point test. Psychol Assess. Apart from the limits of our measurement method, we assumed that the neuroanatomical function of the affected stroke area was much more important than the extension. Brain. Multimodal assessment was performed for clinical, neurological, cognitive, psychological and radiological data at baseline and for QOL, functional outcome, and stress symptoms by questionnaire at six months follow-up. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. The cumulative survival rate among all types of stroke in this study was found to be 48% at five years.

Testbatterie zur Aufmerksamkeitsprfung (TAP) Version 2.2. Policy. (2001) [34]. Three out of 34 showed dissected vertebral arteries on both sides (two patients with bilateral occlusion each, one patient without any stenosis). There were significant more neurological impairments at baseline, that are higher scores of mRS for functional disability or NIH-SS for neurological deficit, in group D as well as I patients with ischemic stroke lesions compared to stroke mimics. Correspondence to Article More importantly, however, our study showed also several limitations. 2005;76(9):122933. Secondary exclusion due to defined criteria decreased the number of baseline patients of group D to 34 and group M to 25. Patient-specific recovery patterns over time measured by dependence in activities of daily living after stroke and post-stroke care: the South London Stroke Register (SLSR). Two more men (46 and 56years old; one with bilateral embolic cerebellar and occipital brain infarctions by VAD plus ocular down-beat syndrome, unilateral motor dysfunction, dizziness, and headache; the other one with dizziness and ataxia due to suspected cerebral ischemia by VAD) wanted to cut their inpatient treatment short and not to participate but showed also contraindications in form of concurrent diseases: one developed bronchial carcinoma 4months later and brain metastases 8months later, then deceased, the other suffered from alcoholism and had a history of former bronchial carcinoma and prophylactic brain irradiation. 1). By means of linear regression analysis, we first calculated the predictive value of certain variables for the variance of SS-QOL scores at follow-up in an univariate model. 2014;45(11):33606. Plasmin degrades fibrin, fibrinogen, and procoagulant factors V and VIII Serum half-life is 4-6 min but half-life lengthened when bound to fibrin in clot. typical type and onset of symptoms. Stroke. It can affect blood flow, putting you at risk for life-threatening complications. Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. J Neurol. They finally hypothesized that the rate of incidence must be equal throughout life. Most dissections heal on their own. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 Evaluation for neurological status at baseline was done by the responsible physician at patients admission to hospital, using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) [18], and by an experienced neurologist (RJS) at the time of neuropsychological testing, administering the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) [8]. Despite obvious overrepresentation of elderly VAD patients and the need for confirmation of our results by larger studies, the main findings are in line with all three younger aged study cohorts that were previously examined for health related QOL after cervical artery dissection as discussed above: (1) Significant percentage of patients with bad QOL (SS-QOL scoring) despite good functional outcome (mRS sccoring) - Fischer et al. The aim of this study BMC Neurol 19, 312 (2019). One main finding was the high prevalence of reduced QOL despite good mRS (02) in about 40% (n=13) of our VAD patients at follow-up in line with the findings of the observational series Czechowsky et al. This process usually occurs within the first three to six months. Psychometric self-rating tools, as used in this study, may enable timely detection of such sequelae and facilitate therapeutic intervention. This option is also for people with hemorrhagic stroke. Its signs and symptoms can be vague, and diagnosis can be elusive. In addition to routine work a semiquantitative visual grading of white matter lesions (WML) from grade 0=no lesions to grade III=severe and diffuse white matter lesions was performed in each patient according to the criteria defined by Fazekas et al. Stroke. WebWang ZL, Gao BL, Li TX, Cai DY, Zhu LF, Bai WX, Xue JY, Li ZS. Nasreddine ZS, Phillips NA, Bedirian V, Charbonneau S, Whitehead V, Collin I, et al. The aim of this study was the multimodal analysis of patient characteristics after VAD to identify contributing factors. WebThe vertebral arteries are part of the circulatory system. Later on, I began to have disturbances in my vision, ie. Although MMSE and MoCA significantly correlated to our cognitive composite score (CCS), further analysis of neurocognitive domain deficits by neuropsychological test battery yielded only some trends of mean group values, without statistical significance. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 cases per 100.000 population [1, 2]. J Neurol. Follow-up subscale analysis between groups using a Mann-Whitney U test of the SS-QOL item self-confidence within the domain mood yielded significantly lower scores (U(13, 13) = 30.5; p<0.01) for VAD patients with bad QOL (SS-QOL3.9) versus good and also significantly lower scores (U(9, 25) = 24.5; p<0.001) for group I patients with bad versus good QOL. While UK-PTSS-14 was initially applied to patients after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge, Radtke et al. Stroke. 2008;28(6):171128. Painting a ceiling with your neck in an extended position for a long time. Kissela et al. Traenka C, Dougoud D, Simonetti BG, Metso TM, Debette S, Pezzini A, et al. Youll need regular monitoring until healthcare providers confirm that healing has taken place. Analysis of subscales demonstrated that a reduced quality of life at follow-up (SS-QOL3.9) in both subgroups (mRS 02) of group D and I corresponded to main impairments, that were significantly reduced mean values, in all psychosocial domains such as Thinking, Personality, Mood, Family Roles, Social Roles and Energy, as shown for subgroup D in Fig. All participants were informed about the procedure and gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Cerebral ischemia in group I patients was caused by cardiac embolism in 34.2%, lacunar disease in 21%, large artery disease in 10.5% and by undetermined cause in 34.2% according to the TOAST-criteria [14]. WebA vertebral artery dissection is not what youd expect at 35 years young. Procedures for vertebral artery dissection include: Most people make a full recovery. To reduce the risk of blood clots, you may receive blood-thinning medications as a first-line therapy such as aspirin or aspirin-like medications (Plavix), heparin infusion or warfarin tablets. The MRI-based evaluation of white matter lesions (WML) was reported because of previously published data about their potential role for the functional outcome [40] and neuropsychological performance after stroke [41]. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. Some give a figure of multiple vessel dissection as high as 30%. The causes of vertebral artery dissection can be grouped under two main categories, spontaneous and traumatic. Spontaneous cases are considered to be caused by intrinsic factors that weaken the arterial wall. In earlier stages, you might not notice symptoms. Sometimes, your healthcare provider may recommend conventional angiography. Spearmans rank correlation analysis yielded a highly significant correlation (p<0.001) between all three cognitive scoring systems (MMSE, MoCA, and CCS). This important discrepancy of QOL and functional outcome after VAD remained to be sufficiently explained. Google Scholar.

Your vertebral artery runs along the back of your neck and supplies your brain and spine with oxygen-rich blood. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is increasingly identified as a cause of ischemic stroke in young adults. They showed ischemic stroke lesions in the majority of cases (73.6%) like the patients of group I (86.8%), larger than 10mm in maximal diameter in 67.6% versus 76.3%, respectively, as shown in Table2. It generates 12 domain-related scores and a total score. Eur J Neurol. Differences in baseline or follow-up characteristics between the three groups (D, I, M) were analyzed with Chi-square tests for categorical and with Kruskal-Wallis-test (H-test) for metric variables. A dissection forms when theres a tear in one or more of its three tissue layers. A vertebral artery dissection is not what youd expect at 35 years young.
