A VARIABLE ORIGIN OF VERTEBRAL ARTERY

MUTHU PRASAD P

Abstract


The vertebral artery is important
to posterior circulation of brain. Accurate
knowledge of the normal and variant
arterial anatomy of the vertebral artery is
important for vascular pathology and clinical
procedures. In the present paper, a
variation of vertebral artery on the left side
arising from the arch of aorta has been reported.
Further its embryological basis and
applied aspects are discussed in detail.
Keyword : vertebral artery, variations, sub
-clavian artery, arch of aorta.
