A 76-year-old woman arrived at the emergency department due to an ischemic stroke that affected the territory of the left anterior choroidal and basilar arteries. Imaging studies showed dolichoectasia basilar associated with a fusiform aneurysm with thrombi inside it in the left vertebral artery. Both anatomic abnormalities are associated with ischemic stroke.
