[Strokes associated with cervical artery dissection, and systemic mastocytosis: an unfortuitous association? A report of two cases].

INTRODUCTION

Neuropsychiatric symptoms in systemic mastocytosis are usually cognitive and affective changes.

EXEGESIS: We describe here two systemic mastocytosis patients without eosinophilia presenting strokes associated with cervical artery dissection.

CONCLUSION

These observations are the first reported and they suggest that systemic mastocytosis could be add to the predisposing factors of spontaneous cervical artery dissections.
