This compression may lead to transient occlusion or significant\nstenosis, resulting in posterior circulation ischemia. BHS is relatively rare in clinical settings, and most reported cases occur in middle-aged or\nelderly patients. Its etiology is commonly associated with degenerative cervical conditions, such as osteophyte formation or disc herniation. In\naddition, the condition most often involves unilateral vertebral artery compromise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, we report a rare case of BHS in a 15-year-old adolescent without noticeable cervical degenerative changes who experienced\nrecurrent, unexplained posterior circulation cerebral infarctions. Dynamic cervical magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed significant\ncompression of both vertebral arteries during head and neck rotation, confirming a diagnosis of bilateral BHS. This presentation differs from the\nconventional understanding that BHS predominantly affects adults and is typically unilateral, suggesting that the diagnosis should also be\nconsidered in young patients, even in the absence of typical cervical lesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is the first report identifying bilateral BHS as the cause of recurrent posterior circulation infarction in a teenager using dynamic MRA.\nAlthough dynamic digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis, this case highlights the practical value of dynamic\nMRA in diagnosing BHS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/0115734056432014260120104650","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,15]],"date-time":"2026-02-15T18:07:45Z","timestamp":1771178865000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/bsp_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Diagnosis of Bilateral Bow Hunter\u2019s Syndrome in an Adolescent Using Dynamic Cervical Magnetic Resonance Angiography: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Weijia","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongjun","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiawu","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiman","family":"Mo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wanxin","family":"Jie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenchuan","family":"Xian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"ref=1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1159\/000444306","volume":"5","author":"Duan G.","year":"2016","unstructured":"Duan G.; Xu J.; Shi J.; Cao Y.; Advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of bow hunter\u2019s syndrome: A comprehensive review of the literature.
