Sports-Related Internal Carotid Artery Dissection: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Point of View The Neurologist 14:307-311, Dharmasaroja,P. &Dharmasaroja,P., 2008 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Pathogenesis of sports-related ICA dissections may be multifactorial. Structural aberrations in the arterial walls and defective connective tissue components are assumed in some patients. Several genes have been shown to be candidates for the connective tissue aberrations. Since sports-related ICA dissection can occur extracranially or intracranially, the combined use of proper diagnostic techniques that provides information on the extracranial and intracranial vessels is recommended. Although the mechanisms and treatment modalities for intracranial and extracranial dissections might be different, the initial steps of evaluation and stabilization should be standardized for both. There is no randomized controlled study for the best treatment of management of ICA dissection.
