Abstract

Purpose of Review

Here, we describe the four primary imaging modalities for identification of carotid artery dissection, advantages, limitations, and clinical considerations. In addition, imaging characteristics of carotid dissection associated with each modality will be described.

Recent Findings

Recent advances in etiopathogenesis describe the genetic factors implicated in cervical artery dissection. MRI/MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) with fat suppression is regarded as the best initial screening test to detect dissection. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of dissection include the use of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) for the detection of intramural hematoma and multisection motion-sensitized driven equilibrium (MSDE), which causes phase dispersion of blood spin using a magnetic field to suppress blood flow signal and obtain 3D T1- or T2*-weighted images. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard for identifying and characterizing carotid artery dissections.

Summary

Carotid artery dissection is the result of a tear in the intimal layer of the carotid artery. This leads to a “double lumen” sign comprised of the true vessel lumen and the false lumen created by the tear. The most common presentation of carotid artery dissection is cranial and/or cervical pain ipsilateral to the dissection. However, severe neurological sequelae such as embolic ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage can also result from carotid artery dissection. Carotid artery dissection can be identified by a variety of different imaging modalities including computed tomographic angiography (CTA), MRI, carotid duplex imaging (CDI), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Ähnliche Überlebensraten nach Reanimation während des Transports bzw. vor Ort

29.05.2024 Reanimation im Kindesalter Nachrichten

Laut einer Studie aus den USA und Kanada scheint es bei der Reanimation von Kindern außerhalb einer Klinik keinen Unterschied für das Überleben zu machen, ob die Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen während des Transports in die Klinik stattfinden oder vor Ort ausgeführt werden. Jedoch gibt es dabei einige Einschränkungen und eine wichtige Ausnahme.

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.
