  • Title: Superior cerebellar artery infarction and vertebral artery dissection.
    Author: Levine SR, Welch KM.
    Journal: Stroke; 1988 Nov; 19(11):1431-4. PubMed ID: 3188127.
    Abstract:
    Isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction is rare, and the mechanism is often not readily apparent. We describe a patient with an isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction resulting from an ipsilateral vertebral artery dissection. Angiography demonstrated intraluminal clot in the superior cerebellar artery, suggesting artery-to-artery embolus as a mechanism of this uncommon stroke syndrome.
