茎突综合征相关颈内动脉夹层致缺血性卒中1例报道 Ischemic Stroke Caused by Internal Carotid Artery Dissection Associated with Styloid Process Syndrome: A Case Report
Abstract
Abstract: Elongated styloid process is the main anatomical abnormality leading to carotid dissection, and the patient with ischemic stroke caused by carotid dissection associated with elongated styloid process was reported here. The patient had a long-standing history of frequent head down and head lift work and CTA with three-dimensional reconstruction showed bilateral elongated styloid processes. Left internal carotid artery dissection due to long-term mechanical injury was the underlying cause of this ischemic stroke, and arterial dissection was repaired well after stenting in the left internal carotid artery. Adequate attention should be paid to ischemic stroke associated with styloid process syndrome to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.
