vertebral artery dissection/asthenia

The authors report the case of a rare manifestation by vertebral artery dissection. A 15-year-old boy who presented with left shoulder weakness and numbness of the left arm was admitted to our hospital. Neurological examination on admission revealed muscle weakness of the left deltoid muscle and

Herein, we described 2 patients with posterior spinal artery syndrome (PSAS) caused by vertebral artery dissection. The patients complained of sudden neck pain or walking instability. Neurological examination revealed sensory loss, muscle weakness, and sensory ataxia. Angiography showed double lumen

We report here a case of vertebral artery dissection, which is rare in childhood. A 12-year-old, previous healthy girl was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, nausea and vomiting. Although there was neither higher cortical dysfunction, motor weakness, sensory

Cervical spine manipulation (CSM) is a commonly spinal manipulative therapies for the relief of cervical spine-related conditions worldwide, but its use remains controversial. CSM may carry the potential for serious neurovascular complications, primarily due to vertebral artery dissection (VAD) and

BACKGROUND Vertebral artery dissection has become increasingly recognized as an important cause of stroke. It usually presents with posterior headache or neck pain followed within hours or days by signs of posterior circulation stroke. To the best of our knowledge, the clinical presentation of a

Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) followed by basilar artery occlusion/stroke (BAO/BAS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. We present a case report of a 7-year-old boy with VAD complicated by BAO/BAS 4 days after falling off a scooter. Symptoms included left-sided weakness and

A-68-year-old man experienced nuchal pain and bilateral shoulder weakness that occurred suddenly after he performed a golf swing. He was conscious. His cranial nerves were normal, but bilateral deltoid and biceps muscle strengths weakened. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed no brain stem

BACKGROUND Vertebral artery disease may give rise to lower motor neuron deficits, but the pathogenesis is unknown. I describe a man with a right vertebral artery dissection who developed bilateral distal upper extremity amyotrophy. He had symmetrical bilateral focal hyperintensites of the anterior

This paper presents a case of a perfectly healthy 36-year-old male, who went to the emergency department with a clinical picture of diffuse headache, dizziness, and asthenia with 3 days of evolution, after a long cycling race. He was admitted to the ENT Department with suspected diagnosis of

A 43-year-old woman presented with weakness in her left arm and leg. She had noticed headache persisting for 2 weeks in her right occipital area 6 weeks prior to the onset of the weakness. Cranial diffusion-weighted MR image demonstrated acute infarction in the right medial part of medulla

Dissections of the cervical arteries account for approximately 15-20 % of all strokes in young patients. Clinically they present with laterocervical and/or hemicranial pain associated to a Horner syndrome in case of carotid dissection and a posterior cervical pain associated to headache in the

The authors report the case of an exceptional presentation of vertebral artery dissection. A 44-year-old man who presented with left shoulder weakness, radicular pain and numbness of the left forearm and thumb was admitted to our hospital with an initial diagnosis of cervical disc herniation. Due to

We report the case of a patient with unilateral tongue weakness secondary to an isolated lower motor neuron hypoglossal nerve palsy that was caused by a right vertebral artery dissection in the lower neck. The patient had a boggy tongue with a deviation to the right side but an otherwise normal

Cervical artery dissection is an intimal tear in a cervical artery with the development of intramural hematoma resulting in stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysmal dilation. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by acute heart failure with a distinctive regional left ventricular contraction profile.
