“…MRA can also be invaluable for evaluating the contralateral VA, considering that VA hypoplasia can occur in up to 10% to 15% of patients. [12][13][14] Those patients will require closer monitoring, because they will be more susceptible to ischemia if the dominant VA is compressed by the herniated disc.…”

The natural history of cervical disc calcification is usually benign. A computed tomography scan can be performed for patients in whom a calcified disc herniation is suspected on the plain films. In this case of herniation into the foramen transversarium, magnetic resonance angiography was useful to evaluate the integrity of the vertebral arteries. Spontaneous resolution of the herniated disc and return to normal function can be expected with conservative treatment.

“…Hence, the risk of occluding the VA in the presence of a normal contralateral vessel is small [7]. Thus, if patients are hemodynamically stable, and the VA on the unaffected side shows normal findings on imaging, non-invasive treatment using embolism by angiogram can be attempted in most cases [7,10].…”

Vertebral artery (VA) injuries following trauma to the neck are uncommon. We treated a case of VA injury in an 82-year-old man presented to a hospital with penetrating neck injuries caused by broken glass and underwent surgery for retrieval of the pieces. After the surgery, he complained about hoarseness, computed tomography scan showed glass remnants in his neck, damaging the right VA and forming a pseudoaneurysm. Thereafter, he came to our hospital seeking treatment for the injured VA. Severe bleeding may have occurred during exploration around the pseudoaneurysm; hence, we performed interventional angiography and occluded the right VA, followed by neck surgery. Five days after embolization, we performed the surgery to remove the glasses. There was no bleeding during and after the operation, and the patient was discharged without any complication. In this case report, we discuss the management of VA injury and review the relevant medical literature. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Apart from these fascinating embryologic and pathologic relationships between the extra-and intracranial vascular anomalies, the clinical significance cannot be overemphasized, whether it is from the point of view of the cardiothoracic surgeon, the neurosurgeon, the radiologist, trauma specialists or even residents and nurses [41][42][43].…”
