We present a 10-year-old boy who was admitted with headache and neurological symptoms after a trauma in the school yard.

Digital subtraction angiography demonstrated bilateral vertebral artery dissections at the dural entry point site. This case emphasises the management of patients with traumatic vertebral artery dissection.
