Background and Objectives: Vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) is a common anatomical variation. We aimed to investigate the association between VAH and atherosclerotic stenosis of subclavian artery (SA ...

Background: In patients with posterior inferior cerebellar artery infarction (PICAI) or lateral medullary infarction (LMI), the ipsilateral vertebral artery is often hypoplastic and therefore at an ...

Objective: To present three cases of young adults with lateral medullary ischaemic events associated with a hypoplastic vertebral artery (VA). All three patients had two additional atherosclerotic or ...

Persistent hypoglossal artery is the second most common persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis. As it is often associated with hypoplasia of vertebral arteries, it poses a challenge during ...

Vertebral artery and posterior cerebral artery analyses were conducted in accordance with clinical criteria. Results: Adequate imaging data were available for 467 patients. Of these, eight patients ...

Results: The study included 37 CADASIL patients. Of the patients, 28 of them (75.7%) had intracranial large artery abnormalities. Eighteen (48.6%) had congenital variations such as fenestration, ...
