R.W. Baumgartner, J. Bogousslavsky, V. Caso, and M. Paciaroni, eds. Switzerland: Karger; 2005, 177 pages, 35 figures, 24 tables, $180.
In this 177-page monograph, contributions by 34 authors cover the topic of carotid and vertebral artery dissection, with one chapter on intracranial artery dissection. The epidemiology, genetics, pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment are succinctly described, along with 3 chapters devoted to imaging, MR angiography, digital subtraction angiography, CT angiography, and sonography of this disorder. The MR and CT considerations are very basic, particularly from the technical point of view, and contain information that would find a greater audience among clinical neurologists.
