As vertebral artery dissections may cause stroke, they must be identified and treated promptly. The association of arterial dissection with dental procedures has been previously observed. In this article, we report on a patient presenting with posterior circulation stroke secondary to vertebral artery dissection following a dental procedure. The clinical course, radiologic findings and management are described and the literature regarding vertebral dissections is reviewed.
