Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection is known to present with various nonspecific symptoms such as headache, neck pain, and dizziness. Prompt recognition and diagnosis of this condition is critical as subsequent long lasting neurological deficits may ensue. Headache in vertebral artery dissection varies in quality, and can mimic primary headache disorders such as migraine with aura. We discuss the case of a 48 year old man presenting with a migrainous headache who was ultimately diagnosed with spontaneous vertebral artery dissection.
