What is Carotid Artery Dissection Overview about?
Carotid artery dissection is a separation of the layers of the artery wall supplying blood to the head and brain. It is a common cause of stroke in young adults. Symptoms may include headache, neck pain, vision changes, or stroke. Causes include spontaneous tears in the artery wall or traumatic injury to the head or neck. Treatment aims to prevent further neurologic problems and may include observation, anticoagulation, stents, or artery ligation.
