Abstract
Among 28 lesions, 22 tumors and 6 arteriovenous malformations, operated with control of the vertebral artery, 15 are located close to the transversary canal. Analysis of arteriographic data from 20 cases of tumors related to the vertebral artery points out the interest in the surgical control of this vessel, in the treatment of these tumors. This control is mainly indicated in case of hypervascularized tumors, or compression of the vertebral artery, especially if it is the dominant vessel or if it gives a radiculo-medullary branch. For this control, the lateral retrojugular approach is used, and sometimes associated with other techniques: embolization, posterior approach, or anastomosis between carotid and vertebral artery above the lesion.
