Helical CT for the Follow-up of Cervical Internal Carotid Artery Dissections AJNR 19:831-837, 9921998., LeClerc,X.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The interobserver agreement was good.Mild mural thickening was observed in four cases of 30 previously dissected ICAs.All stenotic and nearly occlusive dissections without an aneurysm(n=12)reverted to a normal or nearly normal diameter.Half the aneurysms resolved spontaneously(four of eight).Of the 10 occluded ICAs,nine were recanalized,but their external diameter was significantly smaller than that of the normal carotid arteries and a hypoplastic appearance was seen throughout the cervical segment of the ICA in three cases.Most arterial lesions tend to improve or disappear spontaneously but persisting ICA narrowing may be observed in the late course of occlusive-type dissections.
