Descriptor English: Vertebral Artery Dissection
Descriptor Spanish: Disección de la Arteria Vertebral
Descriptor disección de la arteria vertebral
Entry term(s) aneurisma disecante de la arteria vertebral
disección arterial vertebral
Scope note: Despegamiento de la pared vascular de la ARTERIA VERTEBRAL. La hemorragia intersticial en el interior de la media de la pared vascular puede llevar a oclusión de la arteria vertebral, formacón de aneurismas o TROMBOEMBOLIA. La disección de la arteria vertebral se asocia con frecuencia con TRAUMATISMO y lesiones de la región craneal y cervical pero puede darse de modo espontáneo.

Scope note: Splitting of the vessel wall in the VERTEBRAL ARTERY. Interstitial hemorrhage into the media of the vessel wall can lead to occlusion of the vertebral artery, aneurysm formation, or THROMBOEMBOLISM. Vertebral artery dissection is often associated with TRAUMA and injuries to the head-neck region but can occur spontaneously.
