متن کاملRotational vertebral artery occlusion: mechanisms and long-term outcome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To elucidate the mechanisms and prognosis of rotational vertebral artery occlusion (RVAO). METHODS We analyzed clinical and radiological characteristics, patterns of induced nystagmus, and outcome in 21 patients (13 men, aged 29-77 years) with RVAO documented by dynamic cerebral angiography during an 8-year period at 3 University Hospitals in Korea.
