Vertebral artery (VA) dissection caused by swinging a golf club is extremely rare, and the mechanism of the dissection has not been elucidated. A 39-year-old man suddenly felt sharp neck pain and dizziness when he swung a driver while playing golf and visited our clinic. Imaging studies ...
Women have a 3 times greater risk of verterbral artery dissection than men. Whereas gradual narrowing and a sudden blockage with a clot (artherothrombotic) is the main cause of strokes in the elderly, vertebral artery dissection is the main reason for people under 45 years of age with an a...
Sulcal artery syndromeVertebral artery dissection (VAD) is a rare cause of ischaemic injury to the cervical spinal cord. We report the case of a young man presenting an extended right VAD leading to a stroke within both the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) area and within that of ...

We propose that the frequent violent neck tics caused a vertebral artery dissection leading to right pontine and bilateral cerebellar infarcts.关键词: Diffusion-weighted MRI Spinal cord infarction Inflammatory myelopathy DOI: 10.1212/WNL.0b013e318238253c 被引量: 6 ...
Dissection of the vertebral artery is certainly not a frequent cause of headache. Nevertheless, diagnosis is crucial because rapid institution of anticoagulant therapy allows complete regression of the symptoms.doi:10.1016/j.ssnmr.2011.07.001F. Van Trimpont...
If dissection causes only narrowing, as opposed to complete occlusion, the condition usually either improves or completely resolves. If complete occlusion occurs, the condition will usually not resolve (George & Laurian, 1987). Like most intracranial arteries, the thinner walls of the portion of ...
three cases of stroke in young adults without risk factors other than a patent foramen ovale have been reported, presumably the result of paradoxical embolism.2 We now present an unusual case of medial medullary infarction caused by vertebral artery dissection associated with abnormal neck posture dur...
Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is increasingly identified as a cause of ischemic stroke in young adults. Patients most commonly present with neck pain, headache, visual disturbance, or focal extremity weakness. We present a case of spontaneous VAD in a patient whose only symptoms at presentation...
When a tear occurs in one of the major cervicocerebral arteries and allows blood to enter the wall of the artery and split its layers, the result is either stenosis or aneurysmal dilatation of the vessel. Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is an infrequent occurrence but is a leading cause of...
