Delayed Onset of Fatal Basilar Thrombotic Embolus After Whiplash Injury Stroke 26:2194-2196, Viktrup,L.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We conclude that the whiplash injury caused a lesion of the right vertebral artery,leading to repeated transient ischemic attacks and finally to a fatal basilar thrombotic embolus.We suggest that in patients with disturbances of the vertebrobasilar circulation,attention should be paid to occurrence of neck trauma in the preceding 3 months.Further, anticoagulant therapy should particularly be considered in patients who after suffering neck injuries develop signs of transient ischemic attacks with origin from the posterior cerebral circulation.
