    The study enrolled 164 patients with spontaneous cervicocranial arterial dissection (SCCAD) and 164 healthy controls for analysis.

  • 2

    SCCAD patients showed significantly higher rates of thyroid autoimmunity positivity and elevated TPOAb levels compared to controls.

  • 3

    Segment-specific analyses revealed elevated TPOAb levels were positively associated with V4 segment involvement and inversely associated with V3 segment involvement.

  • 4

    Multivariate analyses indicated an independent association between thyroid autoimmunity and SCCAD, with specific segmental implications.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for further investigation into the role of thyroid autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of arterial dissections.
