We report on a 37-year old patient with sudden onset of pain of the right scalp and an ipsilateral small pupil, presenting five weeks after chiropractic manipulation of the neck.
METHODS/RESULTS: Pharmacologic pupil testing showed a postganglionic Horner's syndrome on the right side. Magnetic resonance angiography confirmed the diagnosis of a dissection of the right internal carotid artery at a subacute stage.
There appears to be a causal relationship between carotid artery dissection and the chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine. Ophthalmological signs played the key role in detecting this complication.
我们报告了一名37岁患者,在接受颈部整脊推拿治疗五周后,突然出现右侧头皮疼痛和同侧小瞳孔。
方法/结果:药理学瞳孔测试显示右侧为节后霍纳综合征。磁共振血管造影证实右侧颈内动脉处于亚急性期夹层。
颈动脉夹层与颈椎整脊推拿之间似乎存在因果关系。眼科体征在检测这一并发症中起了关键作用。
