Cervical artery dissection is an important cause of stroke, especially in younger individuals. Most cases appear to be sporadic, but rare monogenic conditions can cause dissection, such as vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.1 The wider use of sequencing techniques in clinical diagnosis of genetic disorders has made it more realistic to test for multiple genes in potential monogenic stroke conditions. Here, we report the case of a cervical artery dissection in a SMAD-4 mutation carrier.
