Vertebral artery dissection #200

Open galyea123 opened 4 months ago

galyea123 commented 4 months ago

Hi Marie-Cécile! We received a message from a patient who is a stroke asking to add this condition listed at NORD. Currently it is not listed in NORD and it is not in Orphanet. Orphanet does list familial cervical artery dissection (note that cervical artery dissection occurs when there's a tear in either a carotid or vertebral artery). It is, in fact, a rare condition. Please let me know your thoughts.

Some useful sources include:

Thank you for your consideration,

Best,

Gioconda Alyea
