CASE PRESENTATION We describe two patients with vascular vertigo who had bilateral curving and spiral looping in multiple segments of the vertebral arteries and also exhibited basilar artery tortuosity.

متن کاملEpisodic vertigo resulting from vascular risk factors, cervical spondylosis and head rotation: Two case reports

Presentation with vertigo in such instances is a common finding. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, and vertigo triggered by head rotation is presented. She...

15 صفحه اولCase Reports Recurrent Ischemic Events in Two Patients With Painless Vertebral Artery Dissection
Background and Purpose: Vertebral artery dissection causes endothelial changes and stenosis that may lead to recurrent ischemic neurological events. The diagnosis may not be obvious because the dissection may be painless and "spontaneous" (no obvious trauma). Magnetic resonance angiography has increasingly been used to screen patients for this disorder, but its accuracy has not yet been establi...
