<unk>  is dissection of one of the layers that compose the carotid and vertebral<unk>  in the neck (cervix). They include: * Carotid<unk>  dissection, a separation of the layers of the<unk>  wall supplying oxygen-bearing blood to the head and brain. * Vertebral<unk>  dissection, a flap-like tear of the inner lining of the vertebral<unk>  that supply blood to the brain and spinal cord.<unk>  dissections can be broadly classified as either "spontaneous" or traumatic.<unk> s are a significant cause of strokes in young adults. A dissection typically results in a tear in one of the layers of the<unk> al wall. The result of this tear is often an intramural hematoma and/or aneurysmal dilation in the<unk> es leading to the intracranial area. Signs and symptoms of a<unk>  are often non-specific and can be localized or generalized. There is no specific treatment, although most patients are either given an anti-platelet or anti-coagulation agent to prevent or treat strokes.
