Abstract:
Spontaneous Vertebral Artery Dissection (SVAD) is a rare condition typically characterized by headache, neck pain, and tinnitus with most dissections occurring in middle-aged adults. Spontaneous dissections cause approximately 2% of all strokes, but account for significant morbidity for pediatric patients. We present a case of SVAD in a healthy teenager with atypical symptoms.
