case_images: A CT angiogram (CTA) of the head and neck (Figures 1, 2) showed a long segment of moderate stenosis in the mid-basilar artery, with a sudden decrease in caliber by 50% over a 9-mm length.

case_images: Of note, the CTA was also used to rule out reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, as there was no evidence of cerebral vasoconstriction, as shown in Figure 3.

case_images: At his 3-month post-discharge visit, the patient had a repeat CTA, as originally planned, which showed no significant residual irregularity or narrowing of the basilar artery (Figure 6, 7).
