Cervical artery dissection (CAD) accounts for 10-20% of ischemic strokes in young adults. Although trauma and preexisting disorders of the arterial wall are the main predisposing factors, most CADs are considered 'spontaneous'. We hypothesized that CAD could originate in systemic vascular disease bound to the intima-media interface without clinical signs. If this hypothesis is true, endothelium-dependent vasodilation would be impaired in response to a physiological stimulus such as an increase in blood flow.
