Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial vertebral artery. 1982

H Hugenholtz, and R Pokrupa, and V J Montpetit, and R Nelson, and M T Richard

Spontaneous dissection of a cervical vertebral artery secondary to fibromuscular hyperplasia is uncommon, is often painful, and may be followed after a latent interval by further symptoms of embolism, occlusion, or hemorrhage. Accordingly, the lesion is potentially hazardous and warrants treatment when recognized.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
