ABSTRACT

Summary Carotid dissection is a rare occurrence but it is the main cause of stroke in individuals aged less than 45 years, and can be the etiology in up to 25% of strokes in young adults. We report a case with classic image of ying yang on vascular ultrasound, which was treated according to the best available medical evidence, yielding a favorable outcome.


Resumo A dissecção de carótida é entidade rara, mas é a principal causa de acidentes vasculares cerebrais isquêmicos em menores de 45 anos e pode ser a etiologia de até 25% dos acidentes vasculares cerebrais em adultos jovens. Apresenta-se um caso com imagem clássica de ying yang à ultrassonografia vascular, que foi tratado de acordo com as melhores evidências médicas disponíveis e apresentou boa evolução.

ABSTRACT

A dissecção espontânea das artérias carótidas e vertebrais (DEACV) é considerada uma causa rara de acidente vascular cerebral, particularmente em países com população multiétnica. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar características clínicas e de neuroimagem dos pacientes com DEACV em uma população multiétnica. Foram estudados 66 pacientes com diagnóstico de DEACV em dois hospitais terciários de São Paulo. Aplicou-se um questionário inicial e os pacientes foram seguidos prospectivamente. Dos pacientes estudados, 82 por cento eram brancos, 53 por cento eram homens e a média de idade foi 41,7 anos. Os fatores de risco cardiovasculares mais freqüentes foram hipertensão arterial e tabagismo. Outros aspectos avaliados foram história prévia de enxaqueca, tratamento inicial e prognóstico. Concluiu-se que apesar da população estudada ser multiétnica, houve um marcante predomínio de brancos. A análise das características clínicas e de neuroimagem dos pacientes com DEACV possibilita um melhor conhecimento da doença, levando a um diagnóstico precoce e tratamento mais adequado.


Spontaneous dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries (SDCVA) is considered a rare cause of stroke, particularly in countries with multiethnic population. The objective was to evaluate the clinical and neuroimaging features of patients with SDCVA from a multiethnic population. Sixty-six patients diagnosed with SDCVA were studied at two tertiary hospitals at São Paulo. An initial questionnaire was completed and patients were followed prospectively. Among the patients studied, 82 percent were caucasian, 53 percent were male and the average age was 41.7 years old. The most frequent cardiovascular risk factors found were systemic hypertension and tobacco use. Other aspects evaluated were history of previous migraine, initial treatment and prognosis. In conclusion, although the population studied was multhiethnic, there was a marked predominance of caucasians. The analysis of clinical and neuroimaging data from patients with SDCVA allows a better understanding of the disease, leading to an earlier diagnosis and more appropriate treatment.
