Two cases of basilar artery occlusion in childhood.

چکیده
Basilar artery occlusion is not a diagnosis which is frequently made, although, since the clarification of the clinical manifestations by Kubik and Adams (1946), more cases are being recognized. The following two cases are reported because no instances of basilar artery occlusion in childhood have been found in the literature, and because in one of the patients the occlusion was a completely isolated event in an otherwise normal child.

متن کاملAuditory hallucination in basilar occlusion: I heard it was the basilar.
Acute basilar artery occlusion is a neurological emergency.
