Vascular Compression of Medulla Oblongata by Non-Dolichoectatic Vertebral Artery

Abstract Neurovascular conflicts are common in the posterior fossa and basal cisterns due to coexistence of important neural vascular structures. conflict arising from compression cranial nerves by pulsatile flow adjacent atherosclerotic arteries is well known associated with conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The medulla be affected dilated tortuous (dolichoectatic) vertebrobasilar elderly or hypertensive. vertebral artery causing can dolichoectatic normal dominant an elongated artery. Very few cases medullary non-dolichoectatic were reported literature. In this article, we report three angulated Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging MR angiography showed indentation anterolateral aspect inferior patients managed conservatively on regular follow-up.
