  • Title: Basilar artery occlusion following yoga exercise: a case report.
    Author: Fong KY, Cheung RT, Yu YL, Lai CW, Chang CM.
    Journal: Clin Exp Neurol; 1993; 30():104-9. PubMed ID: 7712620.
    Abstract:
    Basilar artery occlusion developed in a 34 year old woman 2 months after adopting unusual neck postures during yoga practice. On angiography, her basilar artery was filled with intraluminal clot while the vertebral arteries were normal. We postulate that a severe reduction in blood flow and possibly an intimal tear triggered thrombosis of the vertebral artery and that the final stroke mechanism was artery-to-artery embolism.
