Cervical Artery Dissection: An Atypical Presentation With Ehlers-Danlos-Like Collagen Pathology?
Neurol 63:1708-1710, Ulbright,D.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors took skin biopsies of the macroscopically normal skin of seven consecutive patients with spontaneous cervical artery dissection (SCAD). Histologically, alterations of the collagen and elastic fiber networks were found in six patients. In five, the histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural changes were similar to those usually found in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). This suggests that SCAD is frequently associated with the dermal alterations seen in EDS.
