Key result
Conservative anticoagulation successfully manages bilateral vertebral artery pathology presenting as ACS-like symptoms.
Why the study?
Spontaneous left vertebral artery dissection is an uncommon but important cause of acute posterior circulation stroke.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights an uncommon presentation of spontaneous left vertebral artery dissection and right vertebral artery occlusion presenting with chest pain.
Atypical VAD presentations merit consideration in posterior stroke; this single case leaves open the need for larger prospective validation.
Spontaneous left Vertebral Artery Dissection (VAD) is an uncommon but very important etiology of acute posterior circulation stroke. We reported a case of a 43 years old man, who came with the complaint of chest pain with sudden onset, severe sweating

Elnaz Vafadar Moradi (2023) conducted a case report in Spontaneous Vertebral Artery Dissection (n=1). Conservative management (heparin followed by enoxaparin/warfarin) was evaluated. A 43-year-old man presenting with acute coronary syndrome-like symptoms was diagnosed with left vertebral artery dissection and right vertebral artery thrombosis, and successfully treated with conservative anticoagulation.
