    Author: Yang F, Yue H, Wu L, Qin X, Shi L, Qu W.
    Journal: Medicine (Baltimore); 2017 Nov; 96(44):e8422. PubMed ID: 29095279.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: We present a rarely seen case of cerebral infarction due to intracranial dolichoectasia coexisting with spontaneous dissection of the basilar artery. A definition of dolichoectasia, its pathology, and imaging findings, as well as the clinical management and prognosis are briefly reviewed. CONCLUSION: We discuss in general terms the diagnosis of basilar artery dissection and its probable relationship with the occurrence of dolichoectasia.
