Abstract :
Anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF) is an established intervention for cervical degenerative disease. However, on rare occasions, complications, including dural tear, esophageal injury, and dysphagia, may occur.1 Here, we report a case of cerebellar infarction due to vertebral artery (VA) occlusion that was diagnosed 2 days after ACDF.
