Abstract
A case is reported with a single large external carotid-vertebral anastomosis which was demonstrated by carotid angiography. The various reasons for development of such a channel are discussed. The presence of a large single channel, the direct course and lack of branching, and the lack of previous neurologic symptoms indicate that this particular vessel represents a congenital maldevelopment of the vascular supply to the brain.
