A description of two cases of ischemic stroke with a progressive course on background of dissection of internal carotid artery (ICA) in young women is presented. In the fi rst observation patient developed headache, severe rightsided hemiparesis and sensorimotor aphasia. In digital subtraction angiography dissection subocclusion of left ICA was visualized, after that thrombectomy, intra-arterial thrombolysis and stenting were sequentially performed with achievement complete recanalization, accompanied by regress of paresis. In the second observation, mild leftsided hemiparesis developed, which grew after 4 days, hemianopsia and dysarthria appeared. Based on the results of emergency digital subtraction angiography, a dissection subocclusion of the right ICA was visualized. Using of tandem stenting, complete recanalization was achieved, accompanied by an increase in strength in the limbs and vision improvement. The literature review about the effi cacy and safety of stenting in dissection is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
