Acute vertebrobasilar dissection may cause subarachnoid hemorrhage by rupturing through the adventia or cerebral infarct by progressive occlusion of the true lumen. Recent reports on the endovascular management of this condition have focused on treatment of pseudoaneurysms. We report two cases where angioplasty or stent placement was successfully used to improve compromised blood flow secondary to vertebrobasilar dissection.

Bilateral vertebral artery dissections account for only 8% of all vertebral artery dissections and cause just 2% of all ischemic strokes. They can occur spontaneously, even without any triggering factor. Classical clinical findings, such as headache or neck pain, may be absent, particularly in the context of a stroke.

Vertebrobasilar ischaemia happens for a myriad of reasons. Among the rarest is the existence of a foramen arcuale (FA). This condition results from the ossification of the lateral edge of the posterior atlantooccipital membrane, closing, completely or partially, the top of this groove, turning it into a foramen or a channel.

Background: Vertebral artery (VA) stenosis can be caused by several factors, including arteriosclerosis, arterial dissection, and mechanical compression. Symptomatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency caused by VA stenosis due to mechanical compression associated with head rotation is well-known as Bow Hunter's syndrome. However, an accurate diagnosis of asymptomatic osteophyte compression-induced nonrotational VA stenosis is difficult.

Purpose: Arterial fenestration involves an artery emerging from the same embryological origin, with its lumen divided into two channels that subsequently rejoin. This kind of vascular variant has consequences, such as focal defects in the histologic layers of the arteries, hemodynamic stress, and challenges for endovascular procedures in the management of vascular pathologies. The main objective of this work is to present a rare vascular variant, a double fenestration of the same P1 segment of a cadaveric specimen, and a literature review of these kind of vascular variants.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare condition, often asymptomatic, but it can occasionally lead to ischemic stroke, a situation that is even rarer.
- An 80-year-old male experienced sudden speech difficulties and weakness in his left limbs, prompting a hospital visit where he was diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke in the right side of his brain.
- After treatment and further examination, it was confirmed that he had congenital agenesis of the right ICA, and significant stenosis in the right vertebral artery may have contributed to his stroke, highlighting an unusual cause of infarction in the brain's anterior circulation.
