Multiple cranial neuropathies as a presentation of spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection: A case report and literature review.
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience : Official Journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia 2018 April
Cervical artery dissection is an underrecognized cause of lower cranial neuropathies and diagnosis can remain elusive if not properly investigated. We present a case of an internal carotid artery dissection that was initially missed in a 48-year-old man who presented with subacute-onset of dysarthria, dysphagia, and unilateral tongue weakness. Knowledge of the most common presenting symptoms, relevant neuroanatomy, and neuroimaging techniques is essential to avoid misdiagnosis. Pseudoaneurysm formation from subadventitial carotid artery dissection may result in compressive neuropathies of cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII without associated cerebral ischemia. The absence of intraluminal narrowing on CT or MR angiography should not dissuade the clinician; T1-weighted axial cervical MRI with fat-saturation provides the highest sensitivity and specificity to identify these lesions.
