Popis: A 34-year-old patient was admitted with unclear coma and stretch synergisms. CT-imaging was strongly suspicious of basilar artery dissection, this was confirmed on subsequent DSA. The patient was lysed and a complex thrombectomy was performed. Despite sufficient recanalization, the patient unfortunately died shortly after.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of an acute basilar artery dissection treated by thrombectomy.
