• We report a 40year-old male presenting in the emergeney room with headache, vértigo and left hemiparesis. A magnetic resonante imaging reporten a left cerebellar infarction with occlusion of the basilar artery ana dissection ofthe right vertebral artery. Thepatient experienced a clinical deterioration with the appearance ofa right hemiparesis. Therefore a brain angiography wasperformed alongwith a mechanical thrombolysis using a Solitaire FR® revascularization device. A thrombus located in the distal third ofthe artery was eliminated obtaining a complete perfusión ofthe artery. Thepatient had a satisfactory evolution.
