Abstract
- Brainstem infarction secondary to basilar artery occlusion often causes very-severe and life-threatening neurological conditions. For better recovery, early diagnosis is essential; however, this is not always easy because of ambiguous symptoms and limited information in some cases. We experienced two patients with basilar artery occlusion who presented with convulsive-like movements as an initial manifestation.
