Management of cervical artery dissection: new evidence and future directions
摘要
Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke in young adults. Although its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood, advancements in CeAD patient care have been made in recent years. This review provides an updated overview of the latest evidence on hyperacute and (sub-)acute management of CeAD, highlighting aspects that have received limited attention, including vascular risk factors and mental health. Furthermore, we aim to outline future research directions to enhance patient outcomes and deepen our understanding of the disease.
