Vertebral Artery Dissection [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep
Vertebral artery dissections are a rare pathology that carries a high risk of stroke in a younger population. They may be caused by minor mechanisms and the index of suspicion should be high. Treatment with anticoagulation or antiplatelets should follow if no surgical management is indicated. We describe a case of a female in her 30s who
