Wallenberg's Syndrome Following Neck Manipulation Neurol 40:611-615, Frumkin,L.R.&Baloh,R.W., 1990 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We describe 4 patients ages 28 to 41 with lateral medullary infarction (Wallenberg's syndrome)following chiropractic neck manipulation.In 3 patients,angiography documented dissection of the extracranial 3rd segment of the vertebral artery near the atlantoaxial joint.The onset of neurologic symptoms following manipulation varied from immediate to 4 days.All had good recovery with minor residual deficits.Although the association between chiropractic neck manipulation and vertebral-basilar artery distribution infarction is well known,we emphasize its occurrence in young healthy individuals without commonly regarded predisposing factors.
