My stroke was the result of a vertebral artery dissection (VAD). A VAD can be caused by any number of innocuous occurrences: hyper-extension of the neck while painting a ceiling; having your hair washed in a shampoo bowl at a salon; car accident; even wild and crazy and/or rough sex.
To my knowledge (covering my ass here - I am NOT a medical professional), there's absolutely no rhyme or reason as to who can have a VAD.
How about you? Ever suffered, or know anyone who has, a VAD?
