متن کاملClinically unidentified dissection of vertebral artery as a cause of cerebellar infarction.

In addition, injury of a vertebral artery can cause brain infarctions. However, few cases have been reported in which fatal brain infarction was due to nonocclusive, clinically undetected, traumatic thrombus formation in a vertebr...
