Abstract
- Basilar artery dissection (BAD) is a rare cause of vertigo in children. A 15-year-old girl presented with sudden vertigo and unilateral hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed posterior circulation infarction caused by BAD. After antiplatelet therapy, intratympanic injections of dexamethasone and vestibular rehabilitation, her symptoms improved. We report this case of BAD, which might be mistaken for acute peripheral vestibular disorders in the early stage.
