Vertebral Artery Occlusion Following Hyperextension
Vertebral Artery Occlusion Following Hyperextension and Rotation of the Head • This is a case report of a lateral medullary syndrome of Wallenberg following occlusion of one vertebral artery and stenosis of the opposite artery precipitated by combined motion of hyperextension, rotation, and lateral flexion of the head within physiological limits. Sufficient duration of such head position appear...
متن کاملRotational vertebral artery occlusion at C1-C2.
Compromise of blood flow in the vertebral arteries associated with head rotation is generally considered an uncommon cause of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. It can occur at virtually any level of the cervical spine. We present two cases of transient total occlusion of the left vertebral artery at the atlantoaxial joint during head rotation to the right. In one case, the contralateral vertebral ...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملCritical neck position as an independent risk factor for posterior circulation stroke. A magnetic resonance angiographic analysis.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of critical neck angulation (rotation and hyperextension) on vertebral artery perfusion in symptomatic and control populations and to determine whether this represents a risk factor for ischemic stroke. In a cross-sectional study, 64 symptomatic individuals with well-documented brainstem ischemic events (average age, 70.9 yr) and 37 control s...
متن کاملEpisodic vertigo resulting from vascular risk factors, cervical spondylosis and head rotation: Two case reports
BACKGROUND Vascular risk factors predispose to vertebrobasilar ischemia. Cervical osteophytes can impinge on the vertebral artery causing mechanical occlusion during head turning. Presentation with vertigo in such instances is a common finding. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, and vertigo triggered by head rotation is presented. She...
