Horner's Syndrome Secondary to Angiogram Negative, Subadventitial Carotid Artery Dissection

Abstract: ABSTRACT:A 59-year-old man presented with the acute onset of paresthesias and pain in the left neck, face, and forehead. On subsequent investigation he was found to have a subadventitial type of carotid artery dissection, producing an ipsilateral Horner's syndrome with normal carotid angiography. MRI imaging of the neck structures, using fat saturation technique, showed the subadventitial dissection, sparing the vessel lumen. MRI offers a non-invasive method of diagnosis and follow-up for carotid artery dissec… Show more

“…On MRI of our patient, the dilated false lumen of the IMA revealed signal isointensity on T1-weighted images, hyperintense signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and strong enhancement on postcontrast T1-weighted images. The usefulness of magnetic resonance angiography in the diagnosis of dissection is limited; the most useful magnetic resonance sequence is probably fatsuppressed axial T1-weighted images with inferior saturation pulses (1).…”
