Description
<p>Objective: We report a case of vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm that caused right lateral medullary infarction, which was treated by endovascular therapy.</p><p>Case Presentations: A 57-year-old man developed right-side headache and dysarthria on the day before presentation, and exhibited mouth dropping and dysphagia the following day. Initial MRI demonstrated right lateral medullary infarction with atherothrombotic change with no vessel lesion, and we started infusion and medication administration. Later MRI revealed bilateral vertebral artery dissection, and we treated the growing right vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm by stenting and coils.</p><p>Conclusion: The possibility of dissecting lesions should be considered in cases of medullary infarction. Stenting and coil treatment is a useful option for bilateral dissecting vertebral aneurysms.</p>
