Objective Tortuosity of the carotid artery is a common angiographic finding that may impact
blood flow and neuronal function. However, information on its prevalence and risk factors …

Cervicocerebral artery dissection stands out as a significant contributor to ischemic stroke in
young adults. Several studies have shown that arterial tortuosity is associated with …

Background: This study investigated the link between arterial tortuosity and cervical artery
dissection, focusing on carotid and vertebral tortuosity indices, as well as carotid tortuosity …

Purpose We aimed to verify if vascular tortuosity (VT) may represent a risk factor for
spontaneous epiaortic vessel dissection (sEVD) in young adult patients. Methods We …

Aim Evidence for an association between Internal carotid artery (ICA) kinking and ischemic
stroke has been controversial. We aimed to examine the association between ICA tortuosity …

Background Little is known about the association between carotid artery tortuosity and
internal carotid artery atherosclerosis. This study sought to evaluate the associations …

Objective Spontaneous carotid artery dissections (sCADs) are the common cause of stroke
in middle-aged and young people. There is still a lack of clinical classification to guide the …

Objective Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is one of the major causes of stroke and most
commonly occurs at the site of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA). This study aimed …

Objectives To explore the factors associated with ischemic stroke secondary to spontaneous
cervicocranial artery dissection (sCCAD) and evaluate the initial imaging markers related to …
