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.
