Abstract:

Vertebral Artery Dissection (VAD) is an infrequent occurrence but is a leading cause of stroke in young and otherwise healthy patients. CTA, MRI and catheter angiography can all be used to detect vertebral artery dissection and each has pros and cons. Here we discuss two cases of stroke in young where the presence of double lumen sign on axial sequences of GRE provided the clue to intracranial arterial dissection as the etiology of stroke. This helped avoid unnecessary and expensive etiological evaluation of stroke in young.

Keywords:

Vertebral artery dissection; Double lumen sign
