Vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm usually occurs after major trauma, but it can arise spontaneously after trivial injury. Clinical manifestations are often related to alterations in the posterior brain circulation. CT and angiography are usually the diagnostic methods of choice. We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the left vertebral artery caused by a lesion during a cervical spine surgery and treated with endovascular approach with a covered stent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
