Abstract
A case of bilateral vertebral artery occlusion following trauma in a 25-yr-old woman is presented. The patient had minimal subluxation of C-2 on C-3 without neurological deficit. Her neck was immobilized for 16 days and then a posterior fixation of C-1 through C-4 was performed with Kirschner wires and methyl methacrylate. Occlusion of the vertebral arteries has persisted, but collateral vessels are adequate and the patient has remained neurologically normal.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
