- Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 is a global pandemic with high mortality and prevalence. Although the disease severity has weakened, it remains a significant global health burden as an endemic disease. Several reports have explored the relationship between intracranial artery dissection and SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, an association with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has not been established. Here, we describe three cases of vertebral arterial dissection with acute ischemic stroke after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. This report aimed to raise the clinical awareness of this potential adverse effect, which may facilitate earlier diagnosis and intervention.
