Contents of This CME Activity

    Arterial dissections are now one of the most common forms of vascular lesions identified in the carotid and vertebral arteries, secondary only to atherosclerosis. They are detected more often in intracranial arteries and may occur spontaneously or be the result of trauma. An understanding of their pathophysiology and clinical presentation is key to correct diagnosis and management.
