Medical management of cervical arterial dissections is not standardized and has not been the subject of randomized trials. Management is mainly based on the presumed pathophysiology of secondary cerebral infarcts associated with dissections and the individual experience of each treating team. First, a review of the literature regarding medical management of acute and chronic dissections is presented. Then, results from a national study sponsored by the Société Française Neuro-Vasculaire and the Société Française de Neuro-Radiologie evaluating the medical management of this pathology in French neuro-vascular centers will be presented. These data will be useful to generate practical management recommendations and establish guidelines for further studies.
