Abstrakt: The vertebral arteries represent in the adult the main blood supply of the posterior cranial fossa, even if they appear relatively late during the embryological life. We reviewed all the most important steps of the vertebral artery's embryological development and the most common variants that can occur in the adult. The aim of this review is to summarize the main events of the development of this artery and to give an embryological explication for the most common variants of this artery.
