“…If the basilar artery diameter is over 4.5 mm, it is considered to be enlarged (ectasic). [1][2][3] In this case report, we aimed to present the detection of VBD in a hypertensive patient who presented with dizziness and balance disorder, since it is a rare condition. Case Report 67 y, female with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension managed with medical treatment (metformin, clopidogrel, amlodipine, atorvastatin, ginkgo biloba).…”

“…Another uncommon issue in VBD is subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hemorrhage is associated with the degree of ectasia and the elongation of the basilar artery and may be favoured by hypertension and use of antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents [10,11].…”

Dolichoectasia is a term used to describe marked widening, tortuosity and elongation of an artery. Intracranial vertebral and basilar arteries are most commonly involved. Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is usually asymptomatic. Cranial nerve compression and cerebral ischemia findings are frequently seen in symptomatic patients. However, vertebrobasilar artery dolichoectasia with internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) clinical presentation has not been reported in literature yet. In our case, we report of a 67 year old female who had symptoms of diplopia, left abducens palsy and headache with no prior medical or family history of cerebrovascular disease. She has been presented with INO due to left vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia. Atypical presentation of INO is rare and vertebral artery dolichoectasia as the underlying aetiology, like in our case is even rarer and has not been seen in literature so far.
