Vertebral artery dissection (VAD), a well-recognized cause of stroke in young, can be easily missed on magneto resonance angiography of the brain. Computed tomography and catheter−based angiography are often used to detect arterial dissection, but they have their limitations. Here, we discuss cases of stroke in young where the presence of the additional track sign on a gradient echo sequence provided the clue to VAD being the etiology of stroke. This sign observed on the routine magnetic resonance imaging brain might be of great help to clinicians and radiologists for the easy detection of VAD.

We report two different cases of stroke in young.First one is, a vertebral artery dissection  following  ferris wheel ride at amusement park which emphasise the clinical history in early diagnosis of stroke in young.The other one is, a recurrent stroke in marfan syndrome  associated with basilar invagination and  isolated atrial septal aneurysym which is rare and has unique way of management.
