Although most vertebral artery dissections are extracranial in location, CTA of the head and neck may be more beneficial than either CTA head or CTA neck alone to assess entire extent of vascular injury. CTV Head There is no relevant literature to support the use of CTV head in the initial evaluation of a child with acute ataxia following recent trauma. MR Spectroscopy Head There is no relevant literature to support the use of MR spectroscopy of the head in the initial evaluation of a child with acute ataxia following recent trauma. MRA Head and Neck MRA head and neck may be useful in the diagnostic workup if there is suspicion of traumatic vascular injury such as a vertebral artery dissection that may result in a cerebellar stroke and ataxia. Although most vertebral artery dissections are extracranial in location, MRA of the head and neck may be more beneficial than either MRA head or MRA neck alone to assess entire extent of vascular injury. MRA Head MRA head in conjunction with MRA of the neck may be useful in the diagnostic workup if there is suspicion of traumatic vascular injury such as a vertebral artery dissection that may result in a cerebellar stroke and ataxia. Although most vertebral artery dissections are extracranial in location, MRA of the head and neck may be more beneficial than either MRA head or MRA neck alone to assess entire extent of vascular injury. MRA Neck MRA neck may be useful in the diagnostic workup if there is suspicion of traumatic cervical vascular injury such as a vertebral artery dissection that may result in a cerebellar stroke and ataxia. Although most vertebral artery dissections are extracranial in location, MRA of the head and neck may be more beneficial than either MRA head or MRA neck alone to assess entire extent of vascular injury. MRV Head and Neck There is no relevant literature to support the use of MRV head and neck in the initial evaluation of a child with acute ataxia following recent trauma.
