Simultaneous intracranial and extracranial vertebral artery dissections: a case report.


ABSTRACT: Vertebral artery dissection can occur in intracranial or extracranial vertebral arteries. However, the simultaneous dissection of both intracranial and extracranial vertebral arteries is extremely rare. We describe a 45-year-old man with simultaneous intracranial and extracranial vertebral artery dissections in separate sites. The patient visited a neurosurgical clinic because of headache; he was diagnosed with right vertebral artery dissection and referred to our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an intramural hematoma and mild dilation of the external lumen in the right vertebral artery distal to the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed poor delineation of the entire right vertebral artery, including the proximal portion from the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Computed tomography angiography revealed right extracranial vertebral artery dissection. Careful imaging assessment is thus important for identifying simultaneous intracranial and extracranial vertebral artery dissections.
