P124 Background and Purpose: Spontaneous cervical artery dissection (SCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults, for which an underlying arteriopathy related to a generalized extracellular matrix defect could often be a predisposing condition. As triggering factors such as minor trauma/strenuous exercise or infection may be implicated in the occurrence of SCAD, we conducted a case-control study to assess the relationship between recent infection and risk of SCAD. Methods: Forty-eight patients with SCAD and 52 patients with ischemic stroke from other causes (controls) were recruited prospectively and consecutively from two centers during an 18-month period. Controls were included if they were roughly comparable to cases for sex and age. To analyze the history of recent infection (within one month before SCAD or ischemia), a face-to-face interview, with a structured questionnaire focused on symptoms typical of infection, was performed as soon as possible after admission. Results: Patients and controls were comparable for age (44.6 (7.5) vs 45.2 (9.1), P=0.72) and sex distribution (46% of women vs 43%, P=0.81). Recent infection was found in 31.3% (15/48) of patients with SCAD and 13.5% (7/52) of controls, yielding a crude odds ratio of 2.92 (95% CI, 1.07 to 8.74; P=0.032). In a logistic model adjusted for age, sex, center, educational level and migraine, the odds ratio for recent infection in cases was 3.05 (95% CI, 1.06 to 8.74; P=0.038). Conclusion: This prospective case-control study showed a significant association between recent infection and SCAD, consistent with the triggering role of an infectious process in the occurrence of SCAD.

The pathophysiology of spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCAD) is largely unknown. An association with migraine has been suggested, but not definitively proven. In the setting of a hospital-based prospective case-control study we assessed personal and family history of migraine in 72 patients with sCAD, 72 patients with cerebral infarct unrelated to a CAD (non-CAD) and 72 control subjects. Personal history of migraine was significantly associated to sCAD compared to non-CAD (59.7% vs. 30.6%; OR 3.14; 95% CI 1.41-7.01) and controls (18.1%; OR 7.41; 95% CI 3.11-17.64). As opposed to migraine with aura, migraine without aura was significantly more frequent among sCAD than among non-CAD (56.9% vs. 25.0%; OR 3.91; 95% CI 1.71-8.90) and controls (12.5%; OR 9.84; 95% CI 3.85-25.16). Similar results were observed when the frequencies of family history of migraine were compared. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that migraine may represent a predisposing condition for sCAD.
