A new study finds neck artery aneurysms in cervical artery dissection patients don’t raise stroke risk in first six months, suggesting less aggressive treatment may be needed.
A new study of over 4,000 cervical artery dissection patients found that those with a dissecting aneurysm in the neck artery did not have a higher stroke risk in the first six months after diagnosis compared to those without an aneurysm.
Though about 19% developed an aneurysm—often linked to migraines, connective tissue disorders, or minor neck trauma—only 10% showed growth, and it did not increase stroke or death risk.
The findings suggest such aneurysms may not require immediate aggressive treatment, offering reassurance.
However, the study is preliminary, based on retrospective data without standardized monitoring, and awaits peer review.
