  • Title: Anomalous vertebral artery-induced cervical cord compression causing severe nape pain. Case report.
    Author: Watanabe K, Hasegawa K, Takano K.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2001 Jul; 95(1 Suppl):146-9. PubMed ID: 11453419.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a very rare case of cervical cord compression caused by anomalous bilateral vertebral arteries (VAs). A 65-year-old woman had been suffering from intractable nape pain and torticollis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a signal void region in which spinal cord compression was present. Angiography demonstrated anomalous bilateral VAs compressing the spinal cord. Microvascular decompressive surgery was successfully performed. Neuroradiological and intraoperative findings are presented.
