Imaging Recommendations

Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is a not uncommon cause of arterial ischemic stroke in the pediatric population. Though it is frequently overlooked, and resources help in diagnosis often a concern, the establishment of diagnostic criteria is very crucial for treatment and prognosis. Here, we present a case of VAD with a pictorial and literature review, in addition to imaging recommendations.

Whether Transient global amnesia (TGA) is related to ischemic pathogenesis remains unclear. The recurrence of TGA is rare. We report a rare case of recurrent attacks of TGA with intracranial vertebral artery dissection in young men without other triggers and any associated factor. A 39-year-old man was hospitalized for amnesia. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) revealed a tiny focus of high-intensity signals in the left. High-resolution MRI showed the dissecting aneurysm of the V4 portion of the right vertebral artery. Two years later, the patient experienced sudden memory loss again. On DWI, a new punctate restricted diffusion lesion was observed in the left hippocampus. Considering the recurrence in young men with no other triggers, this case raises the hypothesis that a pure TGA in a young patient could potentially be a vertebrobasilar TIA. Therefore, when a patient presents with TGA, without any associated factors, it is important to investigate and exclude sinister causes of global amnesia and we recommend that a vascular examination be conducted.

Abstract Subarachnoid hemorrhage represents a rare event in pregnancy with a high mortality rate. We present the case of a 39-year-old pregnant woman who developed right vertebral artery dissection with subsequent massive subarachnoid hemorrhage with fatal outcome. The macroscopic and microscopic autopsy findings are described. A review of the literature with a discussion of the varied predisposing factors for vertebral artery dissection and subarachnoid hemorrhage and the rarity of these events in pregnancy is provided.
