  • Title: Spontaneous bilateral carotid and vertebral artery dissection presenting as a Collet-Sicard syndrome.
    Author: Rees JH, Valentine AR, Llewelyn JG.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1997 Aug; 70(836):856-8. PubMed ID: 9486056.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid arteries usually presents with unilateral headache, neck pain, focal ipsilateral cerebral ischaemic symptoms and a Horner's syndrome. Lower cranial nerve palsies are only rarely observed. We report a case of carotid and vertebral dissections presenting as a unilateral palsy of the ninth to twelfth cranial nerves (Collet-Sicard syndrome).
