Abstract:
Basilar artery occlusion is rare, accounting for approximately 1% of strokes. Symptoms range from paresthesia and oculomotor symptoms to locked-in syndrome. Intervention can lead to complete neurological recovery despite the severity of initial deficits. We report a case of basilar artery occlusion in a healthy 36-year-old female with minimal risk factors. The patient underwent interventional thrombectomy within eight hours of onset of symptoms and made a significant recovery. Due to the variation in severity and character of symptoms, the diagnosis of basilar artery occlusion is often a barrier to care.
