Spontaneous Cervical Artery Dissection in Patients Aged Over 70 years: Two Cases and Systematic Literature Review Clin Intern Aging 12:1355-1362, Riou-Comte, N.,et al, 2017 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Even if spontaneous CAD in patients aged over 70 years would appear to be rare, it does occur with comparable clinical and radiological features as in the younger population. CAD is probably underdiagnosed in this population due to a higher prevalence of more common causes of stroke at his age. However, a simple investigation into headache or the Horner syndrome during the patient?s diagnostic workup would lead to adapted exploration of cervical arteries and improve detection of CAD in the elderly.
