abstract="Dissection of cervical arteries constitutes a medical emergency. Although relatively rarely, activities classified as sports and recreation may be a cause of arterial dissection independently of neck or head trauma. The purpose of the present paper was to present a series of cases of cerebrum-cervical arterial dissection in individuals during or soon after the practice of these sports activities.<br><br>METHODS Retrospective data on patients with arterial dissection related to sports and recreation.<br><br>RESULTS Forty-one cases were identified. The most frequently affected vessel was the vertebral artery. A large variety of activities had a temporal relationship to arterial dissection, and jogging was the most frequent of these. This is the largest case series in the literature.<br><br>CONCLUSION Arterial dissection may be a complication from practicing sports.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
