  • Title: Uncommon ultrasound findings in traumatic extracranial vertebral artery dissection.
    Author: Cals N, Devuyst G, Jung DK, Afsar N, De Freitas G, Despland PA, Bogousslavsky J.
    Journal: Eur J Ultrasound; 2001 Mar; 12(3):227-31. PubMed ID: 11423247.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) associated with contralateral vertebral artery dissection (VAD). The interest of this case is to discuss an unusual Doppler pattern manifesting by a spectrum of an alternating vertebral artery flow suggesting a hemodynamic contribution from the contralateral vertebral artery (VA) and a clear depiction of both antegrade (red) and retrograde (blue) flow within the false and true lumen of the VAD by color Duplex flow imaging.
