Abstrakt: We report a juvenile patient who developed vertebrobasilar occlusion following nonpenetrating head and neck trauma, with complete recovery. The patient presented with transient signs of brain-stem dysfunction that were secondary to embolization and/or extension of a thrombus. He was treated with anticoagulants. We have found no other reports of such treatment in juvenile vertebrobasilar occlusion that complicated nonpenetrating head and neck trauma.
