Acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion complicated by basilar artery occlusion
Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare cause of abdominal pain with a very high mortality rate. Vague presentation and often misleading clinical findings make the diagnosis elusive.

متن کاملSpontaneous basilar artery dissection.
Dissection of the basilar artery is rare. We report a 51-year-old man who developed acute pontine infarction associated with dissection of the distal basilar artery. There was no trauma or unaccustomed movement of the head and neck prior to the stroke. The dissection was diagnosed non-invasively by magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography. Cervicocerebral artery dissection ...

Dissection of the basilar artery caused sudden coma and death in a 40-year-old man. Atypical clinical features were explained at necropsy. A ventral dissection of the artery within its outer layers resulted in destruction of the pontine tegmentum with sparing of the basis pontis. An unsuspected defect in the internal elastic lamina in the left internal carotid artery was also found suggesting a...
