Abstract
- Traumatic or sponataneous arterial dissections have been well recognized at the cervical portion of the internal carotid artery and extracranial vertebral artery as an important cause of stroke, especially in young and middle-aged patients. Multiple arterial dissections following craniocervical injury are exceedingly rare. We describe a patient with brain stem infarction caused by basilar occlusion secondary to basilar artery dissection, associated with left ICA dissecting aneurysm after following minor craniocervical trauma without known underlying arteriopathy.
