Some of these lesions may remain quiescent, but most of these lesions have a dismal prognosis once the patient becomes symptomatic. In this study, we present a case of a 61-year-old man with dolichoectatic cervical, carotid, and vertebral arteries to investigate the present-ing clinical picture and come to significant conclusions for clinical experience and practice.

The patient’s history indicated that the episodes were repeated every 6 months for the past 5 years. The diagnosis was established during the first episode. Clinically, these episodes were manifested as ischemi
