- A 34-year-old patient presented with a coma and muscle spasticity, raising concerns about brain function.
- CT scans suggested a basilar artery dissection, which was later confirmed through DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography).
- The patient underwent treatment involving drug therapy and a complex thrombectomy, but despite the procedure being successful in restoring blood flow, the patient passed away shortly after.
Article Abstract
A 34-year-old patient was admitted with unclear coma and stretch synergisms. CT-imaging was strongly suspicious of basilar artery dissection, this was confirmed on subsequent DSA. The patient was lysed and a complex thrombectomy was performed. Despite sufficient recanalization, the patient unfortunately died shortly after. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of an acute basilar artery dissection treated by thrombectomy.
