Abstract
Basilar artery occlusion (BAO), a type of posterior circulation stroke, refers to occlusion of the basilar artery at any point along its course. Patients with BAO can present in many ways, depending on the location of the occlusion and the collateral blood supply. Timely recognition of BAO is essential given the potential for effective therapeutic interventions shown to improve outcome.
