Vertebral artery loop formation causing severe cervical nerve root compression.
A 35-year-old woman presented with 10 years of stabbing pain in her neck and upper back above her right scapula, sometimes radiating into both arms. Examination results were normal. Somatosensory evoked potentials showed significantly prolonged latency of the right C4 nerve root. Cervical spine MRI demonstrated tortuous vertebral arteries looping most notably into the C3-C4 neural foramina bila...
متن کاملMedial Loop of V2 Segment of Vertebral Artery Causing Compression of Proximal Cervical Root
OBJECTIVE It is rare that the medial loop in the V2 segment of the vertebral artery (VA) causes compression of the proximal cervical root of the spinal cord without leading to bony erosion and an enlarged foramen. We evaluated the clinical significance and incidence of the medial loop in the V2 segment of the VA. METHODS We reviewed the records from 1000 consecutive patients who had undergone...
متن کاملDysphagia Due to Anterior Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report
Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. Case Report: We report a rare case of anterior cervical osteop...
متن کاملCervical radiculopathy caused by vertebral artery loop formation : a case report and review of the literature.
Vertebral artery loop formation causing encroachment on cervical neural foramen and canal is a rare cause of cervical radiculopathy. We report a case of 61-year-old woman with vertebral artery loop formation who presented with right shoulder pain radiating to her arm for 2 years. Plain radiograph and computed tomography scan revealed widening of the right intervertebral foramen at the C5-6 leve...
متن کاملTransient rotational compression of the vertebral artery caused by herniated cervical disc. Case report.
Of the many causes of vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI), extrinsic compression of the vertebral artery (VA) is relatively uncommon. A syndrome of VBI caused by extrinsic compression of the VA secondary to head rotation has been termed positional vertebrobasilar ischemia. The authors present a case of transient VBI caused by herniation of a cervical disc. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography w...
