Introduction: Traditionally, spontaneous cervical artery dissections have been associated with violent, sudden neck movements. These events are a significant cause of stroke related morbidity, particularly in young people. Only a handful of cases of golf-induced vertebral artery dissection (VAD) have been described, and the discussion has primarily focused on middle-aged men. Despite the discussion focused on this demographic, women are participating in golf at higher rates than ever before, and have a higher risk for developing VAD. Case Report: A 41-year-old woman presented to our hospital with sharp neck pain, dizziness, and ptosis after swinging a driver during a morning round of golf. Imaging demonstrated a right V3/V4 VAD and subsequent ischemic infarction. After administration of tissue plasminogen activator she had abrupt change in mental status with seizure-like activity. She underwent angiogram and mechanical thrombectomy, and was started in heparin 24 hours post-tissue plasminogen activator. This was subsequently changed to low-dose aspirin following thalamic petechial hemorrhage. She was discharged from the hospital after a few days with only minor deficits. We will discuss mechanism, treatment, and outcomes of VAD in context of this case. Conclusion: This patient is the first woman in the literature to suffer from VAD as a result of playing golf. The twisting motion of the head and neck in a golf swing may be a risk factor for dissection and subsequent development of stroke. As a result of increased female participation in golf, we expect to see increased incidence of women presenting with “golfer’s stroke” in coming years.
