What is left vertebral artery occlusion?

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.

What is bilateral vertebral artery occlusion?

Bilateral distal vertebral artery occlusion is uncommon; it occurs primarily in hypertensive patients, and neurologic deficits develop progressively or stepwise over a longer time period than in basilar artery or branch occlusion.

What causes vertebral artery occlusion?

Occlusion or impairment of the vertebrobasilar blood supply affects the medulla, cerebellum, pons, midbrain, thalamus and occipital cortex. This results in a number of clinical syndromes and is caused primarily by atherosclerosis.

What does Dolichoectasia mean?

Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a condition characterized by ectasia, elongation and tortuosity of the basilar artery. It may manifest clinically by compression of the cranial nerves, ischemic symptoms or intracranial bleeding.

What is the origin of the left vertebral artery?

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.

What is an occluded artery?

An occlusion is a complete or partial blockage of a blood vessel. While occlusions can happen in both veins and arteries, the more serious ones occur in the arteries. An occlusion can reduce or even stop the flow of oxygen-rich blood to downstream vital tissues like the heart, brain, or extremities.

What is a dominant left vertebral artery?

A vertebral artery was considered dominant when a side-to-side diameter difference >0.16mm exists. In 54% of the cases the left diameter was dominant, whereas in 30% the right diameter was dominant. In 16% of the cases, the left arterial diameter was equal to the right (Table 3).
