Abstract

Angiography, Digital Subtraction Cerebellar Diseases - diagnostic imaging Cerebral Angiography Cerebrovascular Disorders - diagnostic imaging Female Humans Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations - diagnostic imaging Male Middle Aged Subarachnoid Hemorrhage - diagnostic imaging Vertebral Artery - abnormalities Vertebral Artery - diagnostic imaging Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency - diagnostic imaging Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency - pathology
In this article, we present 5 cases of uncommon anomalous vertebral arteries and discuss the possible embryologic etiologies. These cases include a left vertebral artery as the 2nd branch off the left subclavian, a left vertebral artery with 2 origins, a right vertebral artery arising as the last branch off the aorta, a right vertebral artery arising as the 2nd branch off the right subclavian artery, and right vertebral artery with proximal duplication as the 2nd branch off the right subclavian artery.
