Intracranial dissection: Incidence and long term endovascular treatment results of a not so rare disease
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveThe objective of this communication was to study the incidence and course of ICD and the long term outcome of this severe disease. The second goal was to analyze the different endovascular treatment modalities according to their long term results.MethodsIt is a retrospective analysis of 14 patients with ICD admitted in a single center in two consecutive years, treated with endovascular procedures. Patients harbouring blister-like ruptured intracranial aneurysms were excluded from this study.ResultsIn this case series, 12 patients presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and 2 with brain stem symptoms. Mean age was 51 years and 13 patients were female. Six patients (43%) died and 8 (57%) survived with a mRS at 0–1. Mean follow up was 21 months.ConclusionsICD as a cause of SAH seems to be more frequent than previously thought and usually has a severe course. It requires a high level of suspicion to diagnosis and specific endovascular treatment modalities are required for each location to ensure long term stability and change the poor prognosis.
