Feb 08 2022 Purpose Intracranial vertebral artery dissection VAD is being increasingly recognized as a leading cause of Wallenberg syndrome and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conventional angiography is considered the standard diagnostic modality but the diagnosis of VAD remains challenging. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of high
Because of this anatomical course the vertebral arteries are often affected by head motion. Stenotic change of the vertebral artery can occur at the atlantoaxial level in head rotation. Such a special type of stroke was named bow hunter s stroke by Sorensen. We report three cases of bow hunter s stroke and discuss the angiographic examinations.

However although cortical vein opacification may be related to contrast

To augment the number of patients with angiographic correlation we reviewed the records of 1256 consecutive carotid Doppler examinations performed during a 2 year period just before the prospective study for reports of abnormal vertebral artery waveforms. An abnormal waveform in the vertebral artery was mentioned in 84 reports.

Bowhunter’s syndrome also known as rotational occlusion of the vertebral artery involves posterior circulation ischemia resulting from dynamic compromise of the dominant vertebral artery. This case highlights the importance of provocative digital subtraction angiography in making the diagnosis.
The final diagnosis of vertebral artery dissection was based on 1 compatible clinical signs and symptoms of vertebral artery dissection with definite angiographic CTA or MRA findings of dissection in the vertebral artery 2 no evidence of luminal irregularities stenosis or occlusions in
Dec 15 2011 Introduction At present the risk of future hemorrhage or ischemic insult from vertebral artery VA dissection cannot be estimated from available imaging data. We investigated the relationship between symptoms and the angiographic patterns of the dissecting site on balloon test occlusion BTO to develop guidelines for clinical decision making.

Jul 01 2009 Basilar and Vertebral Arteries. Basilar artery fenestration has been found in 0.6 of angiographic examinations 19 and approximately 5 of autopsies 20 . Basilar artery fenestrations are most commonly located in the proximal basilar trunk close to the vertebrobasilar junction 3 Fig 7 .

SUMMARY Duplication of the vertebral artery is a rare developmental anomaly. Duplication and fenestration are terms often used incorrectly and interchangeably in the literature. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report to describe bilateral duplication of the extracranial vertebral artery. Bilaterally there are 2 separate origins of each vertebral artery from the
Jul 19 2016 Duplication of the vertebral artery VA is a rare vascular variant. To the best our knowledge only fourteen cases have been reported with angiographic findings that they have dual origin of the VA from ipsilateral subclavian artery. Herein we present a case of duplication of right VA which was incidentally detected by magnetic resonance MR angiography.
Nov 01 2012 Carotid and intracranial artery stenosis carries a high risk of recurrent stroke and has been the subject of several previous and ongoing large randomized trials.1 2 3 Extracranial vertebral artery disease also carries a high risk of stroke accounting for up to 20 25 of strokes occurring in the posterior circulation.4 5 More specifically vertebral artery origin
Apr 29 2015 the left vertebral artery arrow indicates artery location on TOF angiography. Contrast enhanced MR angiography was then performed and demonstrated an apparently normal left vertebral artery Figure 2 . However the con trast enhanced study also demonstrated occlusion of the proximal left subclavian artery best seen on the coronal
