title: Vertebro-basilar thrombosis and involuntary movements.
abstract: There are a number of causes of thrombosis in the vertebro-basilar system, and among these are trauma and abnormal movements. This is particularly likely to occur if there are anomalies or abnormalities of the spine or arteries. A case is reported which suggests that involuntary movements should be included in the possible aetiologies.
