(2001) [34]. Chicago: University of Chicago Press; 1947. Acta Psychiatr Scand. This method enables healthcare providers to quickly pinpoint the dissection and determine its severity and acuity. What symptoms/pain did you experience? Toschke AM, Tilling K, Cox AM, Rudd AG, Heuschmann PU, Wolfe CD. Second, apart from elevated scores of stress symptoms, significantly higher scores of pre-baseline symptoms of anxiety were found which might be indicative for a predisposing vulnerability for anxiety disorders and subtypes like (subthreshold) posttraumatic stress disorder. Over the last years, cervical artery dissection has been increasingly diagnosed due to improved neuroimaging methods [58]. Cervical artery dissection goes frequently undiagnosed. Schievink WI. 1999;53(8):183943. 2005;53(4):6959. Maximum scores of 30 points in each of both tests correspond to an unimpaired cognition. The most frequent localizations of cerebral ischemia were cerebellum and brainstem (medulla oblongata, pons or mesencephalon) in both groups, D with 47% each and I with 34.2 and 42.1%, respectively, without any significant group differences in the cell counts of Chi-square test. Correspondence to 1993;24(1):3541. No individual persons personal details, images or videos are being used in this study. WebMethods: Clinical and radiological data of 114 patients with sCAD were collected prospectively. Lee VH, Brown RD Jr, Mandrekar JN, Mokri B. Article The use of the German version in this study was authorized by their authors (pers. Administration, norms, and commentary. The Montreal cognitive assessment, MoCA: a brief screening tool for mild cognitive impairment. 88.2% of patients with dissection (group D) experienced acute cerebral ischemia. This investigation is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study that evaluated contributing factors to QOL six months after VAD in a pure prospective and comparative study design on a pure VAD study population, including a standardized neuropsychological testing in the acute phase. Furthermore, it may sufficiently explain the predominant impairments of psychosocial QOL domains after VAD. Other sites of ischemia were occipital lobe in 17.6% of group D and 34.2% of group I, furthermore thalamus in 5.3% of group I. Arnold M, Bousser MG, Fahrni G, Fischer U, Georgiadis D, Gandjour J, et al. Finding Support, the Right Doctor, and Some Validation The months following that fateful workout session were a 2011;77(12):117481. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. Third, apart from elevated scores of stress symptoms significantly lower scores of the SS-QOL item self-confidence within the domain mood were found at follow-up. Because of the great Monitoring typically includes magnetic resonance angiography every three to six months. They showed ischemic stroke lesions in the majority of cases (73.6%) like the patients of group I (86.8%), larger than 10mm in maximal diameter in 67.6% versus 76.3%, respectively, as shown in Table2. (2009) [6]. (2009) [6], mean age 46years, Czechowsky et al. In the trauma bay, he complained of chest pain and dyspnea. 1 It is an important cause of stroke in the young, particularly in otherwise healthy patients without traditional vascular risk factors. 1980;137(5):53544. Five-point test. These include vertebral and carotid arteries. In accordance with common convention, mRS score of 02 reflects a good functional status meaning independency in daily living. On rare occasions, this can lead to stroke. The Neurological Institute is a leader in treating and researching the most complex neurological disorders and advancing innovations in neurology. BMC Neurology Regensburger Wortflssigkeitstest. Current recommendations for patients with FMD are to avoid resistance training during the first 8-12 weeks after acute carotid or vertebral artery dissections. Auflage. In an exploratory study, 34 consecutive patients with first-ever spontaneous VAD were prospectively examined in comparison to 38 patients with cerebral ischemia without dissection and 25 stroke mimics as control groups. Risk factors and clinical presentation of craniocervical arterial dissection: a prospective study. The first data collection in each patient was performed at baseline (time point t1) in the acute phase in hospital after clinical stabilization: neuro-status at admission by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) score [18] according to patients records, neurostatus (mRS) and clinical data at baseline according to examination and interview, cognitive screening as well as extensive neuropsychological testing by battery at baseline, and administering self-rating protocols for symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-baseline as well as stroke-related QOL pre-baseline. MoCA, to our best knowledge, was used in our study for the first time in VAD patients. 2018;265(8):18919. White matter hyperintensities as a predictor of neuropsychological deficits post-stroke. In contrast to the primary application of the English version to intensive care unit patients, the German version was recently validated for its use on a broader spectrum of patients [21]. The inclusion criteria were (1) a reliable diagnosis, (2) age between 18 and 85years, and (3)] medically stable psychological and physical condition for testing, i.e. In addition, differentiation of dissection from rupture of atheroma in the context of arteriosclerosis may be difficult so that Ahl et al. Participants were examined for psychological, cognitive and neurological variables with special reference for functional outcome as well as quality of life 6months after the index event. They most probably reflected stroke lesion-associated cognitive impairments whereas stroke mimics without any lesions did show normal scores. Neurology. Types of stroke mimics were predominantly disorders of the vestibular system with vertigo or dizziness as main symptoms. (2014) [46] were the only other ones to date who recently published cognitive status data of patients after cervical artery dissection. It combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with angiography to capture detailed images of your vertebral arteries. Measurements of acute cerebral infarction: a clinical examination scale. All participants were informed about the procedure and gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Clinical monitoring should address this topic to make timely treatment possible. Evaluation for neurological status at baseline was done by the responsible physician at patients admission to hospital, using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) [18], and by an experienced neurologist (RJS) at the time of neuropsychological testing, administering the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) [8]. They finally hypothesized that the rate of incidence must be equal throughout life. In this interview, Amy Wells talks candidly about her stroke and how life has changed for the better in the Neurosci Biobehav Rev. Furthermore, there was no physical follow-up examination conducted, only a follow-up assessment by questionnaire. Patients most commonly present with neck pain, headache, visual disturbance, or focal extremity weakness. Traenka et al. (2013) [16], (2) VAD with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) because it is considered to show distinct disease-related features [17], (3) acute preexisting psychological disorder, (4) alcohol or other substance abuse, (5) strong psychopharmacological medication, i.e. A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician. Other important findings were found in subgroup I (mRS02) with bad QOL that were significantly higher mean values for premorbid anxiety symptoms (p=0.002) and depression symptoms (p<0.001). While post-stroke anxiety [9] and depression [10] have been described already earlier, even depression in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy [51], posttraumatic stress disorder has been coming to attention more recently. Neurology. Apart from (1) the computer-based test battery for alertness, divided and selective attention (TAP) [24], all other tests were paper and pencil tests: (2) Trail Making Test (TMT A and B) for combined attention and executive function [25], (3) the Tower of London (TL-D) for executive function [26], (4) mental rotation (LPS 7) for visual-spatial function [27], (5) the Five-Point Test (5PT) for spatial-cognitive function [28], (6) the Regensburger Wortflssigkeitstest (RWT) for verbal fluency [29], (7) Verbal Learning and Memory Test (VLMT) [30], (8) Block tapping (BT) for the visual digit span [31] and (9) the Finger Tapping Test (FTT) for the hand motor function [32]. Deutsche Adaptation der revidierten Fassung der Wechsler Memory Scale. (2002) [5] and Fischer et al. [43] who preoperatively examined patients with cerebellar hematomas or brain tumors by the same neuropsychological tests apart from not using LPS as we did. A Spearmans rank correlation analysis was performed for outcome-relevant variables. Despite obvious overrepresentation of elderly VAD patients and the need for confirmation of our results by larger studies, the main findings are in line with all three younger aged study cohorts that were previously examined for health related QOL after cervical artery dissection as discussed above: (1) Significant percentage of patients with bad QOL (SS-QOL scoring) despite good functional outcome (mRS sccoring) - Fischer et al. According to modern stress concepts, situations that in particular include unpredictability and uncontrollability can trigger stress [54]. Background: Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) may cause cerebral ischemia and impair quality of life (QOL) despite of good functional outcome. Previous Vulnerability--a new view of schizophrenia. All participants have given written informed consent. WebWang ZL, Gao BL, Li TX, Cai DY, Zhu LF, Bai WX, Xue JY, Li ZS. All patients presented with acute myocardial infarction (MI) (26% ST-segment elevation MI [STEMI], 74% NSTEMI) and approximately 70% reported an emotional or physical stressor. 2001;344(12):898906. Rodallec MH, Marteau V, Gerber S, Desmottes L, Zins M. Craniocervical arterial dissection: spectrum of imaging findings and differential diagnosis. Psychological variables such as pre-baseline symptoms of anxiety and depression were not significantly different between our groups. They assessed, partly retrospectively two months to five years, partly prospectively one month after dissection, the presence of PTSD by using the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS) as self-rating questionnaire. Mean MoCA values of group D (24.24) and I (24.86), however, displayed slightly pathological scores. Most patients achieved good QOL (SS-QOL4.0) at 6months follow-up in group I (68.4%) and even better in group M (87.5%) in contrast with group D (46.9%) (Table2). (2004) [58] proposed the term of atherosclerotic dissection for certain cases. Endovascular therapy versus intravenous thrombolysis in cervical artery dissection ischemic stroke - results from the SWISS registry. Apart from severity of neurological disorders, as scored by mRS, and impaired neuropsychological performance at baseline, as measured by global cognitive screening in form of MMSE, elevated posttraumatic stress symptoms levels, as assessed by Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome 14-Questions Inventory (PTSS-14), proved to be an independent predictor for reduced QOL at follow-up in group D patients after VAD according to multivariate regression analysis. This may also refer to some of the older patients in our study though we have not examined them for arteriosclerosis in such detail. more than one drug, a medium or high dosage or signs of sedative or cognitive side effects, or (6) concurrent or preexisting CNS morbidity or damage apart from white matter lesions (WML) and minor strokes without any disabling, in particular cognitive preexisting deficit. Likewise, in concordance with the literature [5, 6, 36], functional outcome was good (mRS02) in the majority of patients (81.25%). This difference was not statistically significant (p<0.05). You may face a higher risk of dissection if you have certain health conditions, including: Injury can also cause dissection. (2014) [46]. Web2. Other activities with rapid acceleration/deceleration changes. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the University of Bremen. Dziewas R, Konrad C, Drager B, Evers S, Besselmann M, Ludemann P, et al. Eur Heart J 2021;42:3825-3828. (2009) [6] prospectively found 3793455days after event 30% patients with impaired SS-QOL scoring among 66% with favorable functional outcome (mRS01) in a mixed series including patients with VAD and patients with ICAD. A total score of 40 points may be indicative for posttraumatic stress disorder. Eur J Radiol. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of stroke in patients younger than 45 years. MR signal abnormalities at 1.5 T in Alzheimer's dementia and normal aging. Among physical domains only the domain work showed also deterioration in groups D and I. But timely treatment, typically blood thinners or a procedure, can save your life. (3) The upper inclusion limit of age range for our study was quite high with 85years. By means of linear regression analysis, we first calculated the predictive value of certain variables for the variance of SS-QOL scores at follow-up in an univariate model. Konrad C, Muller GA, Langer C, Kuhlenbaumer G, Berger K, Nabavi DG, et al. Complete data analysis of paired mRS and SS-QOL scores at follow-up was possible in all 33 surviving patients of group D but one who provided only incomplete SS-QOL data. Every pathological result, that is a value below one standard deviation, in one of the nine above mentioned cognitive function test domains was transposed to a cognitive composite score for each individual for the purpose of interindividual comparison. 37 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included into the study as group D. In addition, 38 patients with acute stroke or TIA of the posterior circulation were included as comparison group I and 27 stroke mimics of the posterior circulation as comparison group M (Fig. It showed a high validity [47] against the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS) [48] as longer established 49-item self-report measure. WebIf 3-month ultrasound follow up or MRA showed complete recanalization of the vertebral artery, antithrombotic therapy was stopped. Gottwald B, Mihajlovic Z, Wilde B, Mehdorn HM. For more extensive testing, a neuropsychological test battery was used with cognitive tasks of nine cognitive domains with possible reference to cognitive functions of the anatomical structures of the posterior circulation, in particular the cerebellum. Painting a ceiling with your neck in an extended position for a long time. Am J Psychiatry. Debette S, Grond-Ginsbach C, Bodenant M, Kloss M, Engelter S, Metso T, et al. 2011;134(Pt 12):367286. Two more men (46 and 56years old; one with bilateral embolic cerebellar and occipital brain infarctions by VAD plus ocular down-beat syndrome, unilateral motor dysfunction, dizziness, and headache; the other one with dizziness and ataxia due to suspected cerebral ischemia by VAD) wanted to cut their inpatient treatment short and not to participate but showed also contraindications in form of concurrent diseases: one developed bronchial carcinoma 4months later and brain metastases 8months later, then deceased, the other suffered from alcoholism and had a history of former bronchial carcinoma and prophylactic brain irradiation. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, Posttrauamtic stress syndrome 14-questions inventory. MMSE and MoCA inversely cross-correlated with NIH-SS scores in group D with weak significance, MoCA scoring with NIH-SS also significantly in group I, and MMSE scoring with NIH-SS only non-significantly in group I. 2004;75(8):11946. (2) Broad neuroimaging of cervical arteries including cervical MRA was regularly applied to patients of all age groups and risk profiles whenever differential diagnosis of VAD appeared to be possible. This profile of cognitive dysfunction was related to predominance of cerebellar stroke lesions in both group D and group I. N Engl J Med. Noble et al. To reduce the risk of blood clots, you may receive blood-thinning medications as a first-line therapy such as aspirin or aspirin-like medications (Plavix), heparin infusion or warfarin tablets. Herrmann M, Freyholdt U, Fuchs G, Wallesch CW. By using this website, you agree to our In our study, five patients (15%) of group D displayed scoring for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS-14) above cut-off scores indicating PTSD compared to one patient each in group I as well as group M. Previous data [52], however, have already stressed that even subsyndromal scores may be of relevance, as can be assumed for our thirteen subgroup D patients with elevated PTSS-14 levels and bad QOL despite good functional outcome. Source Reference: Markus H, et al "Antiplatelet therapy vs anticoagulation therapy in cervical artery dissection: the Cervical Artery Dissection in Stroke Study Important non-vascular incidents were a newly diagnosed prostate cancer with radiation therapy in group D and an inpatient treatment for depression in one patient as well as a single epileptic seizure in another one in group I.

Psychometric self-rating tools, as used in this study, may enable timely detection of such sequelae and facilitate therapeutic intervention. It provides seven scoring levels as follows: (0) no symptoms at all, (1) no significant disability despite symptoms, (2) slight disability, (3) moderate disability, (4) moderately severe disability, (5) severe disability, and (6) dead. Elevated levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms, as evaluated by PTSS-14 scoring in our study, are in line with recent reports on the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after stroke, even after minor stroke [49] or transient ischemic attack [50]. It comprised standardized self-rating protocols for neurostatus (mRS), stroke specific QOL and posttraumatic stress symptoms, and in addition open questions for the clinical course. Google Scholar. The datasets used and analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. Blood in the separated layers of the vessel wall can lead to blood clot formation. The variance of total QOL was determined by neurological, neurocognitive and psychological predictive factors.

Plank position (but otherwise safe to participate in yoga or Pilates). This is a procedure where a provider places catheters (long, thin tubes) in either your wrist or groin. Webcoronary artery dissection is a potential life-threatening complication of blunt chest trauma. Stress revisited: a critical evaluation of the stress concept. Youll need regular monitoring until healthcare providers confirm that healing has taken place. The data suggest that posttraumatic stress symptoms are of significant importance for the QOL after VAD. bright spots on my In multivariate regression analysis only MMSE remained a poor predictor for QOL, explaining 12.6% of its variance. From October 1, 2010, to June 31, 2013, 42 consecutive patients with spontaneous first-time vertebral artery dissection (VAD), who were admitted to our hospital under the suspected diagnosis of an acute stroke, were registered and screened for this study. 1989;20(7):86470. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 2006;37(10):2499503. Quality of life in survivors after cervical artery dissection. Gttingen: Hogrefe Verlag; 2004. Vertebral artery dissection: presenting findings and predictors of outcome. Tucha O, Lange KW. Although there was a preponderance of atrial fibrillation in group I, no significant group differences of neurovascular risk factors were found in line with current knowledge about VAD characteristics [3, 35]. Characteristics and outcomes of vertebrobasilar artery dissection with accompanied atherosclerosis. Adding one additional base point in all individuals our self-constructed cognitive composite score (CCS) showed a range from score 1=normal to 10=completely pathological. Engelter ST, Grond-Ginsbach C, Metso TM, Metso AJ, Kloss M, Debette S, et al. Finally, additional potential outcome-relevant lifestyle-factors such as nutrition and sports activity as well as social factors such as social networks and social support were not taken into account of this study. Furthermore, reinfarction as a negative event or recanalization of the former dissected artery vessel as positive event is most probable during the same time period of first six months. Flow diagram of the study population, a too severely disabled; b concurrent cerebral disease (dual pathology); c deceased. Because previous studies have shown no crucial role of neurovascular risk factors or sociodemographic factors for QOL of VAD patients, we focused our analysis of potential contributing factors for QOL on previously less investigated neurological, neurocognitive and psychological variables with special respect to the biopsychosocial model [12]. Stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. WebWhat is the life expectancy of someone with fibromuscular dysplasia? The findings were in line with modern concepts of cerebellar cognitive function [44] and also in accordance to previous data on cognitive impairments in patients with cerebellar stroke lesions, for example by Exner et al. At follow-up assessment, group M showed the best distribution of mRS scores in direction to better ones and group D the worst with a significant higher mean score of mRS. Group-related changing in mRS scoring between time points t1 (baseline) and t2 (6months follow-up), group D patients with dissection; group I patients with ischemia without dissection; group M stroke mimics; mRS modified Rankin Scale; n. s. not significant, * significant difference. PubMed 2013;94(12):253541. Speck V, Noble A, Kollmar R, Schenk T. Diagnosis of spontaneous cervical artery dissection may be associated with increased prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder. Theyll use contrast dye and X-ray-guided imaging to look at blood flow through the artery itself along with the extent of the dissection or vessel injury in real-time. 1975;12(3):18998. The finding of more neurocognitive impairments in form of lower mean values in cognitive measures in patients with ischemic lesions of both group D and group I patients did not reach significance. 2014;45(11):33606. VAD affected the right side in 13 patients (38.2%), the left side in 18 patients (53%), and both sides in three patients (8.8%). Vertebral artery dissection: natural history, clinical features and therapeutic considerations. 2018;3(1):4756. Thirty-one of 62 study participants completed 18.922.72months after discharge four tests of attention and memory function. 88.2% of patients with VAD suffered from acute cerebral ischemia. Even if WML predominated in groups D and I compared to stroke mimics, they showed no significant inter-group difference. Patient-specific recovery patterns over time measured by dependence in activities of daily living after stroke and post-stroke care: the South London Stroke Register (SLSR). Clinical prediction of functional outcome after ischemic stroke: the surprising importance of periventricular white matter disease and race. Sixteen patients (47%) presented with vertigo or dizziness as either the only symptom or among other symptoms. His troponin was elevated at 0.094ng/mL. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. Among 24 stroke mimics only two patients (8.3%) with mRS 02 reported a bad quality of life in contrast to 20 patients (83.3%) with mRS 02.
