Abstract

Cranio-cervical artery dissection is a potentially disabling yet underrecognized entity and often occurs in young and middle-aged adults. Accurate and prompt diagnosis of this condition is crucial because timely and appropriate therapy can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and long term sequelae.
