Best-Practice Recommendations for Chiropractic Management of Patients With Neck Pain
2019, Journal of Manipulative and Physiological TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Cassidy et al31 concluded that the association between chiropractic care and vertebral basilar artery–related stroke found in previous studies was likely explained by presenting symptoms attributable to evolving VAD and found similar risks between primary care physicians and chiropractors, which might be explained by the fact that patients with evolving VAD typically have headaches and neck pain. Several recent papers have associated VAD with a variety of common activities,32-36 and others failed to find any high-quality evidence to support a causal link between chiropractic manipulation and cervical artery dissection.35 Doctors of chiropractic need to be aware of possible signs and symptoms of potential VAD and stroke, and there are simple, clinically relevant questions and examination findings DCs should be looking for.36
Vertebral artery dissection in sport: Expert opinion of mechanisms and risk-reduction strategies
2019, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Trauma to this region of the vessel (V3) may cause a dissection which extends intracranially, or a concomitant intracranial lesion, which may rupture the thinner vessel wall and cause subarachnoid haemorrhage which may be immediately fatal. This mechanism, presentation, and outcome is consistent with sports cases reported in the literature, including ice hockey [3], karate [16], and Australian Rules Football [1]. Impact to the head, neck, or body which causes cervical spine trauma or rapid extreme movement of the neck is also concerning.
Traumatic Intracranial and Extracranial Vascular Injuries in Children
2010, Neurosurgery Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The presence of retinal hemorrhage in these cases should be interpreted with caution as it can be simply the consequence of SAH (Terson syndrome). Patients with vertebral artery dissections usually have a lucid interval after trauma until they present with symptoms.45,46 Ipsilateral headache, neck pain, dizziness, and neurologic deficits are the most common symptoms of vertebral artery dissections.47
