  • Title: MR diagnosis of cerebellar infarction due to vertebral artery dissection in children.
    Author: Cheon JE, Kim IO, Kim WS, Hwang YS, Wang KC, Yeon KM.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2001 Mar; 31(3):163-6. PubMed ID: 11297078.
    Abstract:
    Posterior circulation infarction is uncommon in children. We describe the clinical presentation and radiological findings in two children with cerebellar infarction resulting from dissection of the vertebral artery. We emphasize that vertebral artery injury should be considered in a child with acute symptoms and signs of ischaemia in the posterior circulation. MRI and MRA may be helpful in the diagnosis of cerebellar infarction and vertebral artery abnormality.
