Abstrakt:	In young patients, ischemic stroke is an uncommon result of vertebral artery dissection (VAD). Damage to the vertebrae can occur suddenly or as a result of trauma. There are no generally recognized recommendations for diagnosis and treatment, and the majority of vague symptoms and delayed presentation provide a significant diagnostic problem. While medical management with anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy is advised, no successful dual therapy has been documented. Although traumatic dissection is a more frequent cause of posterior cerebral circulation stroke in people under 45 years of age than spontaneous dissection, spontaneous VAD is well-reported and usually treated with anticoagulation. VAD can result in fatal complications such as basilar area infarction, even though it is often asymptomatic. Here is a case of a 37-year-old male who presented with a posterior circulation stroke after bilateral VAD with no evidence of trauma to the neck and no detectable cause suggesting spontaneous etiology.
