I65. 02 - Occlusion and stenosis of left vertebral artery. ICD-10-CM.
Vertebral artery occlusion results in proximal VBA territory ischemia. Occlusion near the origin of the vertebral artery (extracranial) causes ischemia in the medulla and/or cerebellum and commonly presents as brief transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
Vertebrobasilar insufficiency is a condition characterized by poor blood flow to the posterior (back) portion of the brain, which is fed by two vertebral arteries that join to become the basilar artery. Blockage of these arteries occurs over time through a process called atherosclerosis, or the build-up of plaque.
neckThe vertebral arteries run separately inside the left and right sides of the spinal column in the neck. The suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull cover the vertebral arteries. This area is the suboccipital triangle.
Vertebral artery stenosis (also called vertebrobasilar insufficiency) happens when the vertebral and basilar arteries at the base of the brain become blocked. These arteries supply blood to the brainstem and the cerebellum.
If your vertebral artery stenosis is severe enough to cause a stroke or TIA, you may experience the following sudden symptoms: numbness, weakness or paralysis in an arm, leg or your face, especially on one side of the body. trouble speaking, including slurred speech. confusion, including problems understanding speech.
The carotid arteries can be felt on each side of the lower neck, immediately below the angle of the jaw. The vertebral arteries are located in the back of the neck near the spine and cannot be felt on physical exam.
Almost all intracerebral haemorrhages come from such rupture of small penetrating vessels. Embolic occlusion of the vertebrobasilar system: is uncommon and emboli are typically from the aortic arch, subclavian artery and vertebral arteries.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used alone can detect intracranial vertebral artery disease,41,42 but it is best used in combination with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to assess both extra and intracranial vertebral arteries.

Function. The vertebral artery delivers blood to the neck's vertebrae, upper spinal column, the space around the outside of the skull. It also supplies blood to two very important regions of the brain: the posterior fossa and the occipital lobes.
The left vertebral artery (LVA) usually arises from the left subclavian artery medial to the thyrocervical trunk. It then enters the foramen transversarium of C6, passes through the transverse processes of all superior cervical vertebrae, and finally enters the foramen magnum while supplying the brain and spinal cord.
