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. They were almost 20years older than in other large study samples ( [3], mean age 439 [57], mean age 41.19.9]. 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. They most probably reflected stroke lesion-associated cognitive impairments whereas stroke mimics without any lesions did show normal scores. Hrting C, Markowitsch HJ, Neufeld H, Calabrese P, Deisinger K, Kessler J. WMS-R. Wechsler Gedchtnistest revidierte Fassung. Cervical artery dissection is commonly considered to be underdiagnosed [3, 57,58,59]. 2006;37(10):2499503. The role of cognitive impairment in the quality of life after ischaemic stroke. "mini-mental state". This important discrepancy of QOL and functional outcome after VAD remained to be sufficiently explained. In the trauma bay, he complained of chest pain and dyspnea. The type of cause for ischemia in the group I was categorized according to the TOAST criteria [14]. But timely treatment, typically blood thinners or a procedure, can save your life. Magnetic resonance angiography is the gold standard diagnostic test. 2011;134(Pt 12):367286. There was a high responder rate in follow-up assessments: follow-up data were obtained in 97% of patients in group D, 100% in group I, and 96% in group M. Secondary ischemia prevention by medication until follow-up was provided by platelet aggregation inhibitors in 76.5% patients of group D and 81.6% of group I and oral anticoagulants in 23.5% patients of group D and 18.4% of group I. Vascular events of importance occurred until follow-up time point as follows: In group D one recurrent stroke, one suspected stroke, one new stroke due to dissection of the internal carotid artery, and one transient ischemic attack. Privacy 2013;80(6):78790. However, you may be at risk for future dissections. (2009) [40] reported that severe periventricular white matter disease was significantly associated with poor functional outcome at 3months after ischemic stroke, independently of other factors. Your healthcare provider may recommend alternative treatments. 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). 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. Tedesco AM, Chiricozzi FR, Clausi S, Lupo M, Molinari M, Leggio MG. (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. They included benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in 40%, vestibular neuritis in 24%, vestibulocochlear irritation in 4%, Schwannoma in 4%, suspected somatoform dizziness in 8% and nonspecific dizziness of unknown origin in 16%. Engelter ST, Grond-Ginsbach C, Metso TM, Metso AJ, Kloss M, Debette S, et al. We think increased PTSS levels were neither decisively stroke unit-related, as they were less frequent in comparison group I and M patients who were also treated on the stroke unit, nor disease-specific, as they were also present in group I and M. PTSS levels have been still prevalent in group D which might be explained by the stress-vulnerability model [53]. Fourth, maladaptive coping strategies were significant predictors for and associated with posttraumatic stress disorder in patients with cervical artery dissection in the study of Speck et al. Thirteen of these patients (40.6%) showed a bad quality of life (SS-QOL3.9) despite good functional outcome (mRS 02) and likewise thirteen (40.6%) a good quality of life (SS-QOL4.0) combined with a good functional outcome (mRS 02). 2017;7(3):16572. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Furthermore, the study design was limited: Most data were retrospectively collected and cognitive variables not examined, for example. 2010;17(2):21925. Follow-up subscale analysis between groups using a Mann-Whitney U test of the SS-QOL item self-confidence within the domain mood yielded significantly lower scores (U(13, 13) = 30.5; p<0.01) for VAD patients with bad QOL (SS-QOL3.9) versus good and also significantly lower scores (U(9, 25) = 24.5; p<0.001) for group I patients with bad versus good QOL. RJS contributed to the experimental design, neuropsychological testing, data acquisition, data analyses and manuscript writing. All data were prospectively collected from consecutively recruited patients who were admitted to our stroke unit under the suspected diagnosis of an acute stroke between October 2010 and June 2013. The second data collection was achieved by written standardized, structured questionnaire at follow-up (time point t2) 6months after the initial event. Helmstaedter C, Lendt M, Lux S. Verbaler Lern- und Merkfhigkeitstest (VLMT). Correspondence to Stroke. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. Regarding premorbid psychological profiles, no significant group differences of the mean values of scoring systems (HADS-A/D) for symptoms of anxiety or depression in the week before baseline were found. TOAST. PubMed Blood in the separated layers of the vessel wall can lead to blood clot formation. At first I just had a very bad neck pain, couldn't move it much. Stroke. Five-point test. The challenging main consequence from our study regarding this older age group of VAD patients might be therefore for the treating physician to make the right decision: When to consider (re-)dissection stroke and when to consider neuropsychiatric sequelae, for example. Hemorrhagic stroke was found to result in a lower survival rate or lower level of functionality than ischemic stroke. To diagnose VAD may be difficult because of the wide range of symptoms, from isolated local signs to posterior circulation stroke. 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. 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. 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]. communication). In addition, the autopsy findings of the 66years old patient with medulla oblongata infarction by VAD who deceased due to unexpected heart failure after baseline confirmed the diagnosis of VAD and support the validity of our data. Medical therapy and ongoing monitoring can help people with vertebral artery dissection avoid complications. Dziewas R, Konrad C, Drager B, Evers S, Besselmann M, Ludemann P, et al. While there were in groups D and I compared to group M frequent impairments in both global screening tests (MMSE, MoCA) and in single cognitive function tests of the neuropsychological test battery (Additionalfile1) and also in the resulting cognitive composite score (CCS), this difference reached statistical significance only in the MoCA assessment for group D compared to group M (Table2). It was only asked for affective symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-baseline and at follow-up there has been only exploration for stress symptoms but not for symptoms of anxiety and depression. There were significant more neurological impairments at baseline, that are higher scores of mRS for functional disability or NIH-SS for neurological deficit, in group D as well as I patients with ischemic stroke lesions compared to stroke mimics. Radiographics. The datasets used and analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. Folstein MF, Folstein SE, McHugh PR.

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. Rodallec MH, Marteau V, Gerber S, Desmottes L, Zins M. Craniocervical arterial dissection: spectrum of imaging findings and differential diagnosis. The aim of this study was therefore as follows: (1) to evaluate the characteristics of patients after VAD with special focus on those with bad quality of life despite good functional outcome in comparison with positive and negative control patients in a prospective comparative study design (2); to identify contributing factors to quality of life after VAD, considering neurological, cognitive, and psychological variables (3); to identify the predictive factors for quality of life after VAD. 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, by multiple regression analysis, they were no predictors of QOL variance of VAD patients at follow-up. 2008;28(6):171128. These are typically among the first tests people receive. They deliver oxygen-rich blood to your brain and spine. 2008;52(2):2028. A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician. Subgroup-analyses were calculated for patients with mRS 02 and SS-QOL4.0 versus those with mRS 02 and SS-QOL3.9. Previous VAD studies mainly focused on classical outcome endpoints such as mortality and recurrence rate. Twenty-three patients with VAD had (subtotal) occlusion, eight patients a stenosis and three no significant stenosis. In earlier stages, you might not notice symptoms. Study participants were asked at follow-up to answer 14 items of the PTSS-14 inventory regarding stress symptoms in the previous week.

Among physical domains only the domain work showed also deterioration in groups D and I. statement and Mean MoCA values of group D (24.24) and I (24.86), however, displayed slightly pathological scores. Furthermore, cervical artery dissections in patients 60years are often painless and mechanical triggers missing [60]. CAS Adams HP Jr, Bendixen BH, Kappelle LJ, Biller J, Love BB, Gordon DL, et al. 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. (2005) [41], for example, noted a correlation of the degree of WML with cognitive decline. In the SSQOL-subgroup analysis of patients with good functional outcome (mRS score2) and good SS-QOL score (4.0) at follow-up were eight patients with arterial occlusion or subtotal occlusion versus five with or without stenosis. (2014) [46]. It leads to a reduced QOL in a significant percentage of patients despite good functional outcome. Their high PTSD prevalence might be overestimated because physically less affected people voluntarily participating in their study might have tended to mention more mental problems when asked by self-rating PDS. Table4 shows univariate linear regression analysis demonstrating that neurocognition scores at baseline (MMSE, MoCA, CCS), neurostatus at baseline (NIH-SS score on admission, mRS score) and stress symptoms at follow-up (PTSS-14 score) were predictors of quality of life at follow-up. J Neurol. Mean age was 52.5 9.6 years and 91% were women (57% were post-menopausal). This can happen by keeping your neck in a hyper-flexed position (looking upward) for extended periods. Thus, somewhat unspecific symptoms in this age group and context of VAD history, if not critically reflected, may usually prompt otherwise evitable inpatient diagnostics for stroke and/or recurrence of dissection. (2004) [58] showed in their study that a significant number of cervical artery dissection can occur in the older age group and can be diagnosed if considered. 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]. 1996;243(8):599604.

Coil Embolization for the Treatment of Ruptured Dissecting Vertebral Aneurysms. Published data about the possible impact of stenosis or occlusion of dissected vertebral artery to outcome have been rare and inconsistent so far. A summary score of 4.0 was considered to indicate good QOL, a score3.9 bad QOL in accordance with Fisher et al. The majority of dissected arteries showed (subtotal) occlusion (n=25; 67.6%) or stenosis (n=8; 21.6%), the remaining ones no stenosis at all (n=4, 10.8%).

Although specific information about overall life expectancy after aortic dissection repair is not available, a recent study from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection reported that about 85% of patients who have undergone successful repair of acute dissection involving the ascending aorta remain alive at 5 years. The multivariate analysis of 126 patients with carotid and vertebral artery dissections in a retrospective study design showed that the variables stroke and arterial occlusion were independent factors associated with a poor outcome [37]. 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 Even if WML predominated in groups D and I compared to stroke mimics, they showed no significant inter-group difference. Because of the great 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. Vertebral artery hemodynamics can be evaluated by assessing: (1) the presence or absence of flow, (2) blood flow direction and alteration of the waveform shape, (3) vertebral artery size, and (4) the peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities. J Neurol. It has been already earlier demonstrated in both patients with stroke and patients with Parkinsons disease that the type of psychosocial alterations, psychosocial adaptation and coping strategies seem to be of much greater impact than the degree of physical impairment [56].

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. His troponin was elevated at 0.094ng/mL. (2015) [61] reported that older stroke patients in general have worse prestroke status, greater impairment on hospital admission, more comorbidities and poorer poststroke functional status than the younger patients but can benefit as much as the young from high-intensity neurorehabilitation. 2009;8(7):66878.

Magnetic resonance angiography is a sophisticated test thats not widely available. 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. As a key result, higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms appeared to be a prominent contributing factor to bad QOL in VAD patients with otherwise good functional outcome. Depressive symptoms in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy: a 1-year follow-up study.

(2013) [59] hypothesized that cervical artery dissection goes frequently undiagnosed, particularly in patients with subtle symptoms, which is true for VAD [3, 57], and dependently from the awareness of the responsible physician. Consequently, a valid and reliable evaluation of this variable as putative contributing factor appeared to be not adequately possible in our study: Besides the sample size being very small, it remains unclear how to operationalize best the vascular measurements such as (1) determination of grade/severity of stenosis and by which method (MRI or ultrasound), (2) length of stenosis or occlusion, or (3) site of stenosis (unilateral left or right, bilateral, additionally extra-vertebral). The health-related quality of life regarding the week before baseline and at follow-up was assessed by the German version [22] of the Stroke Specific Quality Of Life Scale (SS-QOL) [7]. Posttraumatic stress symptoms, severity of neurological disorders, and impaired neuropsychological baseline performance proved to be independent predictors for reduced QOL at follow-up according to regression analysis. Characteristics and outcomes of vertebrobasilar artery dissection with accompanied atherosclerosis. The grade of white matter lesions (WML) showed no significant difference between groups, even if it was less frequent in stroke mimics. J Abnorm Psychol. Corresponding to their multivariate analysis, the NIH-SS score on admission was also found to be an independent predictor of QOL at follow-up in our univariate regression analysis. Reitan RM, Wolfson D. The Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological test battery: therapy and clinical interpretation. Multimodal assessment was performed for clinical, neurological, cognitive, psychological and radiological data at baseline and for QOL, functional outcome, and stress symptoms by questionnaire at six months follow-up. Therefore, pathological alterations might have been either too subtle for detection, the applied neuropsychological tests not sensitive enough, or the study cohorts too heterogenous. Cervical artery dissections typically heal very well, returning the vessel to normal. This process usually occurs within the first three to six months. Whats it like living with a cervical artery dissection? Youll need regular monitoring, including imaging studies, until healthcare providers confirm the dissection has healed. Herzogenrath: Vera Fimm; 2009. (1987) [33] and Wahlund et al. Current recommendations for patients with FMD are to avoid resistance training during the first 8-12 weeks after acute carotid or vertebral artery dissections. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2588305/). 2004;251(10):12428. 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. The Montreal cognitive assessment, MoCA: a brief screening tool for mild cognitive impairment. Neuropsychologia. Maximum scores of 30 points in each of both tests correspond to an unimpaired cognition. In line with previously published and reviewed data [36], the rate of ischemic recurrence of 9% in our VAD patients (literature estimates between 0 and 13.3%) and rate of recurrent dissection of 3% (literature estimates between 0 and 25.0%) were low. You may face a higher risk of dissection if you have certain health conditions, including: Injury can also cause dissection. Fischer et al. 1999;53(8):183943. The mean decrease of QOL, that is the difference of SS-QOL scoring, from pre-baseline to follow-up, was significantly stronger in the subgroups (mRS 02) with bad quality of life (SS-QOL3.9). 1983;67(6):36170. It can be induced by a particular head or neck posture; its early signs often include headache and neck pain. Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. That is in particular striking regarding VAD. Cerebrovasc Dis. This option is also for people with hemorrhagic stroke. Their mixed series included about two third of patients with spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) and one third with VAD. PubMed In a subsequent multiple regression analysis, neurocognition at baseline measured by MMSE, neurostatus at baseline measured by mRS and posttraumatic stress symptoms measured by PTSS-14 proved to be independent predictors for the quality of life at follow-up, explaining in combination 71% of its variance. Administration, norms, and commentary. If the artery ruptures or a blood clot disrupts blood flow to your brain, you may experience signs of a stroke. This method enables healthcare providers to quickly pinpoint the dissection and determine its severity and acuity. 2009;40(2):5306. 2011;35(5):1291301.
