  • Title: Cerebellar top-of-the-basilar syndrome.
    Author: Silverman IE, Geschwind MD, Vornov JJ.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 1998 Dec; 100(4):296-8. PubMed ID: 9879857.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient with unusual cerebrovasculature due to the absence of anastomosis between anterior and posterior circulations and bilateral fetal posterior cerebral arteries. This resulted in an atypical 'cerebellar' top-of-the-basilar syndrome, with bilateral superior cerebellar artery infarctions. We review the clinical presentation and radiologic findings and explain the embryologic origin of this vascular anatomy.
