Article Synopsis
- A 59-year-old man with a history of hypertension, kidney failure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia experienced a reversible ischemic stroke manifesting as right-sided weakness without speech issues or loss of consciousness.
- Imaging (head CT) revealed multiple calcified high-density areas in certain brain arteries, but the carotid angiography didn't show any narrowing or plaque buildup.
- Thoracic CT scans indicated significant calcification in the mitral and aortic valves along with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Article Synopsis
- Vertebrobasilar artery dissection (VBD) is a rare cause of strokes that primarily affects younger individuals with a history of trauma or specific connective tissue disorders.
- The paper discusses an older patient who experienced a spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (SVAD) due to atherosclerosis, which is uncommon in this age group.
- Diagnosis was achieved using MRI, the most effective method for quickly identifying SVAD, enabling timely treatment for the patient.

This condition is defined by the triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. The syndrome is due to malformation of the mesonephric duct during embryogenesis.
