Description
Timo Krings introduces a research topic on tears in the arteries of the brain and neck, published in 2026. These dissections form a complex spectrum of vessel disease, hitting young and middle-aged people in particular. They are a recognized cause of stroke, bleeding around the brain, and other severe outcomes, yet they often stay hard to spot.
Presentations vary widely and overlap with other vessel and body-wide disorders, so recognition and treatment are often delayed. The collection gathers current research across basic mechanisms, imaging advances, clinical prediction, and changing medical, endovascular, and surgical therapies. It was co-edited with colleagues at Chinese and American centers, joining complementary expertise and patient populations. The editor frames the topic as a step toward better outcomes in a disease that still challenges clinicians.
