Condition: Dissection Carotid Artery · Dissection Arterial · Dissecting Aneurysm · Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
The goal of this observational study is to analyze the existence of a genetic predisposition in patients with spontaneous dissections of the cervical arteries (SCeAD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Which is the prevalence of pathogenic variants in genes coding for proteins involved in the structure or function of the connective tissue in adult patients with spontaneous dissections of the cervical arteries? 2. Which are the clinical characteristics of each single genetic variant identified? 3. Which are the clinical, radiological, laboratory variables associated with the finding of a pathogenic variant? 4. Are there differences between patients with SCeAD who have a pathogenic variant in a gene coding for proteins involved in the structure or function of the connective tissue and those who not? 5. There are differences in the risk of SCeAD recurrence between patients with SCeAD who have a pathogenic variant in a gene coding for proteins involved in the structure or function of the connective tissue and those who not? 6. There are differences in the risk of SCeAD recurrence based on the specific typology of genetic variant found? Participants will be asked to undergo: * a whole-CT total-body with contrast; * a dysmorphological visit; * a blood sampling for genetic testing; * a neurological visit; * Some follow-up visits.
