Abstract
We describe a patient with atypical headache as the only presenting symptom of spontaneous triple cervical artery dissection. As the patient suffered from arterial hypertension, a causative relation between headache and arterial hypertension was initially taken into consideration. However, four-vessel arteriography disclosed a dissection of both internal carotid arteries and the right vertebral artery. This unique case highlights the value of conventional arteriography for diagnosing cervical artery dissection. Since multiple cervical artery dissections are not rare, all cervical arteries should be examined by means of conventional arteriography when a dissection is suspected.
