Why the study?
Is a decreased distance between the stylohyoid ligament and the carotid artery associated with an increased risk of internal carotid artery dissection in young patients?
Observational

Effect estimate: r = -0.659
p-value: p=0.000
A distance of less than 3.9 mm between the stylohyoid ligament and the carotid artery is strongly associated with an increased risk of internal carotid artery dissection in young adults.

Zhang et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection. Stylohyoid ligament-carotid distance <3.9 mm vs. Normal patients / greater distance was evaluated on Correlation between stylohyoid ligament-carotid distance and ICA dissection (r = -0.659, p=0.000).
