ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Dissection of vertebral artery is an unusual pathology but sometimes is the cause of stroke in young patients. Since last years, and with the rise of some chiropractic technics, some authors have related these ones with the dissection of vertebral artery. CASE REPORT: We show a case of a 37 years old woman that after a chiropractic session began symptoms of posterior circulation dysfunction as decrease level of sense, tetraparesis and alteration of cranial nerves. The arteriography confirmed the existence of a vertebral dissection of V2 portion and thrombosis of basilar and contralateral vertebral arteries. Intraarterial fibrinolysis was performed with complete recanalization of the artery. Although this, the patient had parenchimal lesions in pons, cerebellum and territory of posterior cerebral artery that produced a locked-in syndrome. All the complementary exams were normal. DISCUSSION: We discuss the relationship between cervical manipulation as an aetiology of vertebral dissection, locked-in syndrome and therapeutic options in these patients

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La disección de la arteria vertebral es una patología poco frecuente, pero que en ocasiones se ha implicado en la etiología del ictus en pacientes jóvenes. Desde hace algunos años, se han relacionado determinadas técnicas quiroprácticas, que poseen un elevado grado de aceptación, con la aparición de este fenómeno. Caso clínico. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 37 años que, después de una sesión de masaje cervical, presentó una clínica progresiva de disminución del nivel de conciencia, tetraparesia y alteración de los pares craneales compatible con trastornos de la circulación posterior. Una arteriografía confirmó la sospecha de la existencia de una disección de la arteria vertebral izquierda, segmento V2, con una trombosis basilar y vertebral contralateral secundarias. Se realizó una fibrinólisis intrarterial y se consiguió la lisis del trombo y la recanalización arterial. A pesar de ello, la paciente presentó múltiples lesiones parenquimatosas en el tronco, el cerebelo y el territorio de la arteria cerebral posterior, que configuraron un síndrome clínico de enclaustramiento. El estudio etiológico mostró una absoluta normalidad de todas las exploraciones practicadas. Discusión. Se discuten las posibles relaciones de la manipulación cervical como causa de disección vertebral, su implicación etiológica con el síndrome de enclaustramiento y las opciones terapéuticas en estos pacientes (AU)
