The study enrolled 164 patients with spontaneous cervicocranial arterial dissection (SCCAD) and 164 healthy controls for analysis.
SCCAD patients showed significantly higher rates of thyroid autoimmunity positivity and elevated TPOAb levels compared to controls.
Segment-specific analyses revealed elevated TPOAb levels were positively associated with V4 segment involvement and inversely associated with V3 segment involvement.
Multivariate analyses indicated an independent association between thyroid autoimmunity and SCCAD, with specific segmental implications.
The study highlights the need for further investigation into the role of thyroid autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of arterial dissections.
