Summary

Delayed recognition of vertebral artery dissections (VADs) after motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) can lead to severe neurologic deficits. Early emergency department (ED) detection is crucial for timely management and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Vertebral artery dissections (VADs) are increasingly recognized complications following minor trauma.
  • Delayed presentation of VADs after motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) poses diagnostic challenges.
  • Previous reports highlight various traumatic mechanisms, but delayed recognition post-MVC warrants specific attention.
