    Spontaneous dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries (SDCVA) is considered a rare cause of stroke, particularly in countries with multiethnic population. The objective was to evaluate the clinical and neuroimaging features of patients with SDCVA from a multiethnic population. Sixty-six patients diagnosed with SDCVA were studied at two tertiary hospitals at São Paulo. An initial questionnaire was completed and patients were followed prospectively. Among the patients studied, 82% were caucasian, 53% were male and the average age was 41.7 years old. The most frequent cardiovascular risk factors found were systemic hypertension and tobacco use. Other aspects evaluated were history of previous migraine, initial treatment and prognosis. In conclusion, although the population studied was multhiethnic, there was a marked predominance of caucasians. The analysis of clinical and neuroimaging data from patients with SDCVA allows a better understanding of the disease, leading to an earlier diagnosis and more appropriate treatment.

    Carotid dissection is a rare occurrence but it is the main cause of stroke in individuals aged less than 45 years, and can be the etiology in up to 25% of strokes in young adults. We report a case with classic image of ying yang on vascular ultrasound, which was treated according to the best available medical evidence, yielding a favorable outcome.
