Abstract
Introduction Craniocervical artery dissection (CCAD) corresponds to a hematoma in the wall of the internal carotid or vertebral artery, and is a major cause of stroke in young and middle [...]
In a certain percentage of patients with craniocervical artery dissection, dissections affect multiple arteries. Some investigators consider that the dissections diagnosed as multiple might have occurred sequentially within a short time frame. We describe an oligosymptomatic patient with bilateral progressive vertebral artery dissection. Careful history taking added new data on transient left arm weakens two months earlier, as a possibility of the earlier disease onset. Key words: Vertebral artery dissection, bilateral; Stroke; Neurosonology; Monitoring
