Cervical Artery Tortuosity Is Associated With Dissection Occurrence and Late Recurrence: A Nested Case-Control Study
Internal carotid artery tortuosity is elevated in spontaneous cervical artery dissection patients compared with healthy controls, and this difference is most pronounced if individuals suffer from long-term dissection recurrence. Additionally, an association between tortuosity, being a readily measurable biomarker in routine magnetic resonance angiography, and proteomic markers of dissection recurrence exists, further enhancing the prospect of underlying subclinical connective tissue disease in dissection patients.
