[Intradural vertebral dissection: case report and literature review].
Vertebro-basilar dissections represent a rare but severe cause of posterior vascular accident and constitute 3 to 7% of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital angiography is classically the standard method for diagnosing of arterial dissections but CT and MR angiography are recently widely used as non-invasive and accurate ways of diagnosis. We report a case of atypical subarachnoid hemorrhage, with focus on contribution of the different techniques.
