Abstract

Basilar and right vertebral artery occlusion, which caused a brain stem infarction, occurred in an 11-year-old boy. There have been nine previous cases of basilar artery occlusion with steno-occlusive lesion in the vertebral artery. It is suspected that dissection of the vertebral artery at the atlantoaxial level and a gradual progression of arterial dissection to the basilar artery were the major causes of this infarction.
