Superior cerebellar artery infarction and vertebral artery dissection

SR Levine and KM Welch
Department of Neurology, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan 48202.

Isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction is rare, and the mechanism is often not readily apparent. We describe a patient with an isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction resulting from an ipsilateral vertebral artery dissection. Angiography demonstrated intraluminal clot in the superior cerebellar artery, suggesting artery- to-artery embolus as a mechanism of this uncommon stroke syndrome.
