Abstract
Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is now an increasingly recognized cause of stroke and is being diagnosed more frequently owing to the widespread use of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of stroke especially in the young. We report here a case of vertebral artery dissection (VAD) with resultant lateral medullary infarction due to the use of a hand held electric massager. Treatment with heparin can help prevent recurrent embolic events and should be given in the absence of subarachnoid hemorrhage or other contra-indications.
