Basilar tip thromboembolism
Diagnosis certain
Updates to Case Attributes
Presentation
was changed:
Sudden onset of loss of consciousness.
Body
was changed:
Typical appearances of a basilar tip thromboembolism. Despite endovascular thrombolysis and attempted clot attempted clot retrieval (which was moderately angiographically effective (not shown)), the patient did not recover consciousness and consciousness and developed extensive infarction, and eventually passed away.
Note: Top of basilar occlusion is usually embolic, whereas mid-basilar occlusion is usually the result of in situ thrombosis as a result of atherosclerotic plaque complication.

Findings
was changed:
CT angiogram confirms the presence of a filling defect at the tip of the basilar artery. The left superior cerebellar and both posterior cerebral arteries are opacified with contrast. The right SCAsuperior cerebellar artery is occluded.
