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.
椎动脉夹层是年轻成年人中风的已知病因。已有大量双侧椎动脉夹层的病例报道，包括从一侧椎动脉进展至另一侧。本病例报告了一例先前夹层的椎动脉愈合后，其侧支椎动脉随后发生夹层的罕见连续情况。数月后进行的随访神经影像学评估显示双侧椎动脉愈合。潜在诱因是颈部扳响。
