The first case of beauty parlour stroke syndrome was reported in the US in 1993. It was coined by Dr Michael Weintraub in the Journal of the American Medical Association after he treated five women who had developed severe neurological symptoms following a hair wash at the parlour. Severe dizziness, loss of balance and facial numbness were the main symptoms. Four out of five suffered stroke attacks, according to the Guardian article published in 2016. Also, health experts said even in the past similar cases were reported among men getting a neck massage in salons.
As per the ResearchGate, “beauty parlour stroke syndrome”, also known as a hair dresser-related ischemic cerebrovascular event (HICE) or vertebral-basilar ischemia (VBI) is a very rare occurrence caused by either artery dissection or vertebral artery compression due to incorrect neck positioning and manipulation at the salon bath basin.
What Causes Beauty Parlour Stroke Syndrome?
The neck joins the head to the rest of your body. The brain needs a continuous supply of oxygenated blood supplied from the arteries via the neck. Two arteries called the vertebral arteries go up the neck via the bones of the spinal column called vertebrae. They connect to form the basilar artery at the base of the skull. The basilar artery delivers blood to several vital regions in the brain, mainly the posterior and middle parts. Any disturbance to the blood flow via these arteries due to a clot or external pressure on the artery can result in a transient ischemic attack (harbinger of a stroke).
Symptoms Of Beauty Parlour Stroke Syndrome
The symptoms usually depend on the region of the brain affected and may show immediately or over a few days or weeks after salon treatment, which include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Blurred vision and double vision
- Loss of balance
- Vertigo
- Numbness in the face
- Weakness of a limbs
- Slurring of speech
- Pain in the neck
