Triple and Quadruple Spontaneous Cervical Artery Dissection: Presenting Characteristics and Long-Term Outcome
JNNP 80:171-174,130, Arnold,M.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Multiple sCAD occurred preferentially in women and caused clinical symptoms and signs mainly in one vascular territory. In none of the patients was FMD or any other underlying arteriopathy apparent. The majority of multiple sCAD was preceded by a minor trauma or infection. Clinical outcome was favourable in most patients, and long-term prognosis benign. The data suggest that transient vasculopathy may be a major mechanism for multiple sCAD.
