N2 - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cervical artery dissection (CAD) is a common cause of ischemic stroke in younger aged subjects. Retrospective studies suggest cervical manipulative therapy (CMT) and preceding infections as extrinsic risk factors for CAD. In a case-control study, we assessed a questionnaire with 7 mild mechanical traumas as potential trigger factors for CAD, including CMT and recent infections. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-seven consecutive patients with CAD were compared with 47 consecutive patients of similar age with ischemic stroke due to etiologies other than CAD. Patients underwent a standardized face-to-face interview. We assessed head or neck pain and recent infection
