Infection-Associated Cervical Artery Dissection, Three Cases
Stroke 28:453-455, Grau,A.J.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
During an upper respiratory tract infection,a 49-year-old patient developed bilateral carotid and vertebral artery dissection with complete vessel restitution.Case 2:within 3 years,a 40-year-old patient experienced two episodes of bilateral internal carotid artery dissection,both preceded by febrile upper respiratory tract infection.Case 3:a 52-year-old patient developed right-sided and,2 years later,left-sided internal carotid artery dissection,each following upper respiratory tract infection.Infection may be a trigger factor in the pathogenesis of cervical artery dissection.
