Abstract

Vertebral artery dissection is extremely rare among the etiologies of acute arterial ischemic stroke in childhood. Most patients diagnosed with stroke secondary to dissection have a history of head and neck trauma. However, most of the time, patients may not give trauma anamnesis. In this article, we present a 9-year-old male patient with posterior ischemic stroke symptoms, who did not give trauma anamnesis at the first evaluation and was diagnosed as vertebral artery dissection. In patients with the symptoms of vertebrobasillar insufficiency, traumatic injuries should be kept in mind and radiological examinations should be planned for vertebral artery dissection, even if it cannot be learned in the history

Özet

Çocukluk çağında akut arteriyal iskemik inme etiyolojisinde vertebral arter diseksiyonu oldukça nadirdir. Diseksiyona sekonder inme tanısı alan hastaların çoğunda baş ve boyun travma öyküsü mevcuttur. Ancak çoğu zaman hastalar travma anamnezi vermeyebilir. Bu yazıda posterior iskemik inme semptomları olan ve ilk değerlendirmede travma anamnezi vermeyen, vertebral arter diseksiyonu tanısı koyduğumuz 9 yaşındaki bir erkek hasta sunulacaktır. Vertebrobaziller yetmezlik semptomları olan hastalarda ilk değerlendirmede öyküde öğrenilemese bile travmatik hasarlanmalar akılda tutulmalı, vertebral arter diseksiyon ön tanısı açısından gerekli radyolojik incelemeler planlanmalıdır.
