She subsequently suffered a left lateral medullary stroke 15 hours after her initial presentation. Cervical artery dissections (CeAD) can occur in the absence of trauma, and in some cases, infection may be a contributing factor. COVID-19 infection can cause an endotheliopathy and inflammatory response, which may contribute to intimal vessel disruption. Whether COVID-19 infection can contribute to CeAD and subsequent stroke is discussed, along with other considerations regarding the pathogenesis of CeAD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,24]],"date-time":"2022-01-24T10:19:04Z","timestamp":1643019544000},"page":"874-876","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Case Report: COVID-19 Infection and Cervical Artery Dissection"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Kaylynn","family":"Purdy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Glen","family":"Jickling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Neurology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Lancet Neurol","first-page":"767","article-title":"Neurological associations of COVID-19","volume":"19","year":"2020"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Stroke","first-page":"2605","article-title":"Antiplatelets versus anticoagulation in cervical artery dissection","volume":"38","year":"2007"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Clin Neurol Neurosurg","first-page":"105561","article-title":"Non-traumatic cervical artery dissection and ischemic stroke: a narrative review of recent research","volume":"187","year":"2019"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"J Emerg Med","first-page":"508","article-title":"Cervical artery dissections: a review","volume":"51","year":"2016"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis","first-page":"105047","article-title":"COVID-19 and cervical artery dissection\u2014causative association?","volume":"29","year":"2020"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"J Clin Neurosci","first-page":"26","article-title":"Unilateral common carotid artery dissection in a patient with recent COVID-19: an association or a coincidence?","volume":"87","year":"2021"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"Lancet Neurol","first-page":"668","article-title":"Cervical-artery dissections: predisposing factors, diagnosis, and outcome","volume":"8","year":"2009"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"J Clin Invest","first-page":"1233","article-title":"Neutrophil-mediated injury to endothelial cells.
