Spontaneous intracranial artery dissection: risk factors, clinical features and imaging features.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

There remains a lack of epidemiological data and evidence regarding risk factors for intracranial arterial dissection (IAD) worldwide, making it difficult to make a more timely and accurate clinical diagnosis. We aimed to identify risk factors, clinical and imaging features of spontaneous IAD (sIAD) using a case-control design.

Methods

We collected data on sIAD patients admitted to Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China from June 2017 to June 2024. Non-IAD ischemic stroke (IS) and non-IAD intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients served as control groups. Logistic regression models analyzed the three data sets, with results expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

After screening, 71 patients with sIAD, 84 patients with non-IAD IS and 102
