Abstract

Extracranial or intracranial artery dissections are more frequently reported because of cerebrovascular disease occurring in young adults. This condition is more likely to be associated with perma- nent morbidity and mortality. While anti-coagulant medications are commonly used for its treatment, an increased use of intrave- nous thromobolytic agents and endovascular treatments has also been reported. In this paper, the case of a patient with an atypical clinical course following thrombolytic treatment for acute extra- cranial internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is presented in the context of a discussion regarding the safety and efficacy of aggres- sive treatment for extracranial arterial dissections.

Özet

Genç yaşta görülen serebrovasküler hastalıkların sebepleri ara- sında ekstrakraniyal ve intrakraniyal arteriyel diseksiyonlar gi- derek daha sık tanımlanmaktadır. Genç erişkinde kalıcı sekel ve mortalitenin söz konusu olduğu bu tablonun tedavisinde sıklıkla antikoagülan ilaçlar kullanılırken, giderek daha fazla hastada int- ravenöz trombolitik tedavi ve endovasküler tedavilerin uygulan- dığı bildirilmektedir. Bu yazıda akut ekstrakraniyal internal ka- rotis arter (ICA) diseksiyonu olan, intravenöz trombolitik tedavi (IVT) verilen, sonrasında atipik bir klinik seyir izleyen bir olgu ile birlikte ekstrakraniyal arter diseksiyonlarında agresif tedavile- rin etkinliği ve güvenilirliği tartışılmıştır.
