Superior Cerebellar Artery Infarction and Vertebral Artery Dissection
Stroke 19:1431-1434, Levine,S.R.&Welch,K.M.A., 1988
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction is rare,and the mechanism is often not readily apparent.We describe a patient with an isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction resulting from an ipsilateral vertebral artery dissection.Angiography demonstrated intraluminal clot in the superior cerebellar artery,suggesting artery-to-artery embolus as a mechanism of this uncommon stroke syndrome.
