Background And Purpose
Method
He had subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on the 10th day and died on the 30th day. VBD with dissection can manifest as sequential infarct and SAH, which predicts poor prognosis.1 High-resolution MRI is a useful tool to detect dissection in VBD.
Conclusion
No consensus has been reached on treatment of VBD; antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, surgical, and endovascular treatment are all treatment options.
