Key Points

  • To explore the association between dropped head syndrome (DHS) and a partially thrombosed vertebral artery aneurysm.
  • Case report describing the surgical intervention and postoperative observations.
  • Monitoring improvements in DHS after surgery.
  • DHS improved in the early postoperative period after aneurysm surgery.
  • The exact mechanism for the improvement remains unclear.

Abstract

This is the first report describing an association between DHS and a large partially thrombosed VA aneurysm. DHS improved in the early postoperative period following surgery. Although the exact mechanism remains unclear, this case suggests that factors beyond immediate radiographic decompression may be involved.
