Neurology. 2005 Nov 8;65(9):1471-3. doi: 10.1212/01.wnl.0000183297.65049.68.

Abstract

The pathogenesis of both intracranial aneurysms and spontaneous cervical artery dissection may be related to an underlying vasculopathy. Seven cases of spontaneous cervical artery dissection in the course of ruptured berry aneurysms are reported here.
