| Popis: | Pathology at the origin of the vertebral artery may be the cause of incapacitating vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI). Preoperative diagnosis is made primarily on angiographic criteria. We compared intraoperative and angiographic findings in 30 patients and found important diagnostic discrepancies in patients with a caudal, ventral or dorsal origin of the vertebral artery. In their angiograms, vessel superimposition led us to over look 3 ostial stenoses and 10 stenoses due to kinking. Angiographic assessment of patients with VBI can be difficult. Adequate visualisation of the origin of the vertebral artery is mandatory for accurate diagnosis. |
