Spontaneous Vertebal Artery Dissection Initially Mimicking Myocardial Infarction Stroke 23:1021-1023, Linden,D.,et al, 1992 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A 46-year-old man presented with severe intermittent pain of his left upper arm and general discomfort.During extensive cardiological evaluation for suspected myocardial infarction,a severe brain stem syndrome occurred. Ultrasound Doppler studies detected vertebral artery dissection,which was confirmed by angiography.Conclusions:The unusual initial presentation of vertebral artery dissection delayed an early diagnosis and adequate treatment.Because noninvasive methods are available today,their applications are recommended in similarly uncharacteristic circumstances.
