Abstract
We present an unusual case of vertebral artery dissection in a 30-year-old male patient following an episode of neck massage. He developed headache, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, diplopia, dizziness, and ataxia following the procedure. We also discuss a review of the pathology, diagnosis, symptomatology, treatment, prognosis, and occurrence of this rare entity.
