  • Title: Vertebral artery dissection from neck flexion during paroxysmal coughing.
    Author: Herr RD, Call G, Banks D.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1992 Jan; 21(1):88-91. PubMed ID: 1539897.
    Abstract:
    Vertebral artery dissection has a characteristic presentation that should be considered when symptoms are preceded by any trauma that causes neck movement. We present the case of a man with vertebral artery dissection following severe coughing that presented as a postero-inferior cerebellar artery territory stroke. The patient was anti-coagulated, and his neurologic deficits were partially resolved. The mechanism and presentation of vertebral artery dissection are discussed with an emphasis on early detection.
