The clinical and radiographic findings in 20 patients with nontraumatic spontaneous dissection of the carotid vessels are reported. In 18 patients, the dissection was limited to the internal carotid artery; the extent of dissection varied. The radiographic findings were pathognomonic. Dissection occurs within the media of the vessel along a plane not present in normal arteries. Fibromuscular dysplasia and hypertension may be predisposing factors in spontaneous dissection of the carotid artery.
报告了20例非创伤性自发性颈动脉血管夹层患者的临床和影像学表现。18例患者的夹层局限于颈内动脉；夹层范围各异。影像学表现具有特征性。夹层沿正常动脉不存在的平面在血管中膜内发生。纤维肌发育不良和高血压可能是颈动脉自发性夹层的诱发因素。
