RESUMO
We report a case of a right vertebral artery dissection in a 35-year-old woman, 3â weeks post partum, with manifestations of vertebrobasilar disease. She was 3â weeks out from the uneventful delivery of her fourth child, with presentation of acute neurological symptoms, predominantly intractable vertigo. Vertigo can have many non-specific generalised symptoms and clinical findings. Postpartum women have a lengthy list of possible aetiologies of vertigo not limited to our initially suspected preeclampsia, dural venous thrombosis and vertebral dissection.
