Vertebrobasilar Disease
Abstract
About 20 percent of ischemic strokes involve the posterior circulation. The correct diagnosis is often delayed, and workups in patients with symptoms may not always suggest vertebrobasilar disease. This review explains the causes, typical presentations, and characteristic findings of common strokes resulting from disease in the vertebral, basilar, or posterior cerebral arteries. Recommendations are made for treatment with thrombolytic agents and the prophylactic use of antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
