متن کاملCauses of complications from cervical spine manipulation.
Cervical manipulation occasionally causes serious vertebrobasilar complications. The usual cause is vertebral artery dissection, however in some cases there has been no obvious arterial injury. The present paper reviews the mechanisms by which complications occur, particularly when the applied force is trivial or there is no injury to the vertebral arteries, and the factors that increase risk o...
متن کاملA rare case of dual origin of the left vertebral artery without convergence.
