About this condition
This stroke results from a blood clot traveling to and blocking the right vertebral artery, which supplies blood to the back part of the brain including the brainstem and cerebellum. Patients often experience severe dizziness, balance problems, and coordination difficulties rather than typical one-sided weakness. This requires urgent medical attention as it can affect vital functions controlled by the brainstem.
Common symptoms
severe dizziness
loss of balance
double vision
difficulty swallowing
slurred speech
nausea
coordination problems
When to see a doctor: immediately - call ambulance
