    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A young woman experienced stroke-like symptoms due to severe carotid and vertebral artery disease. Her condition resolved spontaneously, suggesting reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome or spontaneous arterial dissection.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Neurology
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Cerebrovascular diseases can present with diverse neurological symptoms.
    • Extracranial arterial disease poses a risk for ischemic events.

    Observation:

    • A 26-year-old woman presented with subacute headache, hypertension, and neurological deficits.
    • Initial angiography showed severe extracranial carotid and vertebral artery disease, including stenoses and dilatations.

    Findings:

    • Medical management led to initial improvement.
    • Recurrent symptoms prompted repeat angiography, revealing normal vasculature.
    • The findings suggest spontaneous arterial dissections with subsequent recovery.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of transient, severe extracranial arterial disease.

  • Spontaneous dissections should be considered in young adults with unexplained cerebrovascular events.
  • The potential for vascular recovery underscores the importance of careful follow-up.
