Bow hunter's stroke (BHS) is a rare condition characterized by occlusion of the vertebral artery (VA) due to a head rotation. BHS typically results from neck hyperrotation, often due to anatomical factors. The authors present a case of BHS in a young male patient exacerbated by os odontoideum (OD), resulting in atlantoaxial dislocation, which ultimately led to VA dissection.
