Ectatic vertebral artery associated medullary compression treated with microvascular decompression: a case report and review of literature.
Background: Vertebral artery compression syndrome is a rare condition defined as the clinical presentation of dizziness, vertigo, ataxia, dysarthria, dysphagia, progressive or acute paralysis, hemisensory loss, and cervical myelopathy secondary to compression of the medulla and upper spinal cord by the vertebral artery.
Case description: Here we describe a 57-year-old Mexican-American male with bulbar symptoms, positional vertigo, and diplopia. The patient's symptoms were managed through microsurgical decompression of the medulla utilizing a far lateral transcondylar approach. The patient reported clinical improvement on follow-up.
Conclusion: This case underscores the clinical complexity and heterogeneity of this rare neurovascular pathology and the importance of elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the symptomatic presentation of vertebral artery compression syndrome.
期刊介绍:
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
