ECOS, Rosa; MIRANDA, Hector; VALENCIA, Ana María e ABANTO, Carlos. Dissection of the vertebral artery: A case report. Rev Neuropsiquiatr [online]. 2016, vol.79, n.4, pp.272-276. ISSN 0034-8597. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rnp.v79i4.2982.
Cervical dissection is a poorly studied and diagnosed entity, a variant of cerebral infarction particularly found among young adults. It is, however, relatively frequent and should be suspected as a differential diagnosis in young patients with history of an embolic stroke. The clinical case of a patient with cerebral infarction of different vascular territories is presented: various diagnostic studies resulted in the detection of involvement of the left vertebral artery by arterial dissection, by special protocols of cervical magnetic resonance.
