Previous reports have documented death up to 8 days after serious whiplash injury. We report a case of lethal basilar thrombotic embolus that occurred 2 months after the patient\u2019s injury in a collision.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Case Description<\/jats:italic>\n            After whiplash trauma in a car accident, a 50-year-old taxi driver suffered from headache and episodic visual disturbances. Two months after the accident he suddenly lost consciousness and was admitted to the hospital. A CT scan performed at that time was indicative of basilar thrombosis. The patient died 3 days later. The autopsy revealed a thrombosis in the right vertebral artery and a thrombotic embolus in the basilar artery. Microscopically, a lesion of the right vertebral artery was found at the level of the atlantoaxial joint.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            We conclude that the whiplash injury caused a lesion of the right vertebral artery, leading to repeated transient ischemic attacks and finally to a fatal basilar thrombotic embolus. We suggest that in patients with disturbances of the vertebrobasilar circulation, attention should be paid to occurrence of neck trauma in the preceding 3 months. Further, anticoagulant therapy should particularly be considered in patients who after suffering neck injuries develop signs of transient ischemic attacks with origin from the posterior cerebral circulation.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.26.11.2194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,17]],"date-time":"2011-06-17T20:08:03Z","timestamp":1308341283000},"page":"2194-2196","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Delayed Onset of Fatal Basilar Thrombotic Embolus After Whiplash Injury"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Viktrup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Neurology (L.V., G.M.K.), Hiller\u00f8d Hospital, and the Department of Forensic Medicine (S.H.H.), University of Copenhagen (Denmark)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.M.","family":"Knudsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Neurology (L.V., G.M.K.), Hiller\u00f8d Hospital, and the Department of Forensic Medicine (S.H.H.), University of Copenhagen (Denmark)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.H.","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Neurology (L.V., G.M.K.), Hiller\u00f8d Hospital, and the Department of Forensic Medicine (S.H.H.), University of Copenhagen (Denmark)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_1_2","unstructured":"Knight B.
