Surgical correction and SPECT imaging of vertebrobasilar insufficiency due to unilateral vertebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Incapacitating vertebrobasilar insufficiency is generally associated with bilateral vertebral artery disease, whereas unilateral vertebral artery stenosis usually is clinically silent. Regional brain perfusion has not been part of the routine evaluation of patients with vertebrobasilar insufficiency. This report describes two patients who had isolated unilateral vertebral...
متن کاملRotational vertebrobasilar ischemia due to vertebral artery dynamic stenoses complicated by an ostial atherosclerotic stenosis.
We describe a patient with rotational vertebrobasilar ischemia (RVBI) due to vertebral artery (VA) compressive stenoses during neck rotation, complicated by an ostial atherosclerotic stenosis (OAS). Referred for 'near-syncopal spells', inquiry revealed a symptom-complex consistent with vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) provoked by head rotation. VA dynamic angiography with imagi...
متن کاملExternal carotid-vertebral artery anastomosis for vertebrobasilar insufficiency.
Two patients with previous brain stem infarction and current symptoms of vascular insufficiency in the basilar circulation had evidence of vertebral artery occlusive disease. Angiography demonstrated ostial stenosis of the dominant right vertebral artery and retrograde flow down the left vertebral artery to the level of the transverse process of C2 in the first case and to the level of a severe...
متن کاملIsolated unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy due to vertebral artery dissection.
We report the case of a patient with unilateral tongue weakness secondary to an isolated lower motor neuron hypoglossal nerve palsy that was caused by a right vertebral artery dissection in the lower neck. The patient had a boggy tongue with a deviation to the right side but an otherwise normal neurological examination. Magnetic resonance angiography showed a narrow lumen of the right vertebral...
متن کاملVertebrobasilar Occlusion and Vertebral Artery Syndrome
The vertebral arteries branch off the subclavian arteries, passing cephalad through the costotransverse foramina of the sixth to second cervical vertebrae. They enter the skull through the foramen magnum merging at the pontomedullary junction to form the basilar artery which divides into two posterior cerebral arteries at the upper pons. At the base of the brain the carotid and basilar systems ...
