Subarachnoid hemorrhage1
- If the dissection of the artery extends to the part of the artery that lies inside the skull, subarachnoid hemorrhage may occur (1% of cases). (wikipedia.org)
Arterial wall2
- After the tear, blood enters the arterial wall and forms a blood clot, thickening the artery wall and often impeding blood flow. (wikipedia.org)
