A basilar artery dissection (BAD) is an extremely rare disease. It can lead to hemorrhage or infarction involving the brain stem, and is often associated with grave outcome. However, little is known about the pathophysiology of BAD, and its proper managements are yet in controversy. Herein, we report on two rare cases of basilar artery dissection from strenuous physical effort; one from sexual intercourse and another from defecation. The treatment modalities and the outcomes are also discussed.
基底动脉夹层(BAD)是一种极其罕见的疾病。它可导致涉及脑干的出血或梗死,且常伴有严重后果。然而,关于BAD的病理生理学知之甚少,其恰当的治疗方法仍存在争议。在此,我们报告两例因剧烈体力活动引发的罕见基底动脉夹层病例;一例源于性交,另一例源于排便。同时也讨论了治疗方式及结果。
