We found 34 cortical infarcts, 25 large subcortical infarcts, 1 small subcortical infarct, and 5 junctional infarcts. Most infarcts related to ICAD are cortical infarcts or large subcortical infarcts; small subcortical infarcts and junctional infarcts are infrequent. Therefore, these findings suggest that most infarcts occurring in carotid artery dissection (CAD) are probably embolic rather than hemodynamic in origin. According to this presumed mechanism, anticoagulation seems a logical treatment at the early stage of CAD. |
