Core Tip
Core Tip: It is rare for convulsive-like movements to occur as the first symptom of basilar artery occlusive cerebral infarction (BAOCI). When they do occur, however, these movements can serve as an early warning sign of BAOCI. The early diagnosis of basilar artery occlusion can influence patients’ treatment and prognosis.
