2 Vignette A 20 year-old healthy man Initial presentation
Transient right upper monoparesis MRI demonstrated left thalamic infarct. Two weeks later Left hemiparesis at basketball practice MRI demonstrated right thalamic infarct. Hypercoagulability and veno-arterial shunting risk-factor workup was unrevealing. See et al. © 2016 American Academy of Neurology

3 Imaging Diffusion-weighted brain MRI demonstrated left thalamic infarct (arrow, A). T2 brain MRI at re-presentation demonstrated right thalamic (arrow, B) and infratentorial infarcts. Anterior-posterior digital subtraction angiography with the head neutral (C) and with left vertebral occlusion when the head is turned to the right (D). 3-D reconstruction of left VA angiogram demonstrated the normal VA course (E) and focal dynamic occlusion (arrow, F) over the lateral mass of the second cervical vertebral body.

4 Dynamic vertebral artery insufficiency (Bow hunter syndrome)
Conventional angiography normal left vertebral artery (VA) course dynamic left VA occlusion during 36° rightward head turn. Bow hunter syndrome is eponymous for positional occlusion of the VA Bow hunter syndrome results in strokes from dynamic hypoperfusion He remains symptom-free one month after microsurgical clip sacrifice of the left VA Reference 1.
