Image Cervical Artery Dissections accounts for 2% of ischemic strokes but ~ 25% in young adults. It can cause thrombosis at the intimal tear site ➡️ distal embolism in ~ 85% of cases and steno-occlusion in 15%. Thus antithrombotic treatment for 3-6 m is important for stroke prevention. Image

#ICAD Tweetorial: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is the most common cause of stroke worldwide accounting for nearly 10% of ischemic strokes in the United States and up to 50% of ischemic strokes in China. SAMMPRIS showed that the risk of recurrent events in medically treated ICAD patients was 6.6% at 3 months and 12.2% at 1 year but post-SAMMPRIS studies using real world data demonstrated a rate as high as 25% at 90-days (Stroke. 2017 Aug; 48(8): 2158–2163) @ShyamSprabhak
