: Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection is a condition that can have lethal consequences. The condition should be considered in young male patients who present with a stroke. At presentation, headaches, cerebral ischaemic episodes and oculosympathetic paresis are the most commonly encountered manifestations. The diagnosis is confirmed with angiography. Here, we present a middle-aged male gardener with rheumatoid arthritis and signs of vertebral artery dissection to highlight the importance of diagnosis and discuss the controversies in management.
