Sequential Bilateral Vertebral Artery Dissections with Prompt Resolution of Initial Insult.

Vertebral arterial dissection is a known cause of stroke in young adults. There has been a multitude of cases of bilateral vertebral dissections, including progression from one vertebral artery to another. This case reports the curious sequential nature of the healing of a previously dissected vertebral artery with subsequent dissection of the collateral vertebral artery. Follow-up neuroimaging evaluation performed several months later showed healed bilateral vertebral artery. The potential trigger was neck cracking.
