Figure 1
Figure 1 Head computed tomography image upon admission. A: Bilateral cerebellar hemispheres show signs of suspicious ischemia; B: Possible hematoma in the left frontal lobe; C: Left frontal sulci subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Figure 2
Figure 2 Admission head magnetic resonance imaging image. A: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) sequence shows brain stem infarction; B: DWI sequence shows bilateral cerebellar hemispherical infarcts; C: Flair sequence revealed subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left frontal sulci; D: Magnetic resonance angiography revealed narrowing in the right vertebral artery, left vertebral artery, basilar artery, and both posterior cerebral arteries.
Figure 3
Figure 3 Digital subtraction angiography image upon admission. A: Multiple stenosis of the right vertebral artery; B: Left vertebral artery stenosis; C: Digital subtraction angiography showed poor posterior cerebral artery imaging.
Figure 4
Figure 4 High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging images upon admission. A: Multiple dissections of the right vertebral artery at segments V2–4 complicated with thrombosis; B: Left vertebral artery (cervical 1 transverse foramen plane) dissection with thrombosis; C: Basilar and posterior cerebral arteries with thrombosis in false lumen.

Figure 5 High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging images 5 mo after onset. A: The right vertebral artery still has a narrow lumen despite the absorption of the wall thrombus; B: Absorption of thrombus in the left vertebral artery, with local thickening indicating new tissue growth; C: The thrombus was still present at the top of the basilar artery, but the right posterior cerebral artery was clear.
