It is located on the left and right sides of the head and is relatively short. The posterior cerebral arteries branch off from the basilar artery. The left and right PCAs form the longest sections of ...

Migraine with brainstem aura or MBA (formerly known as basilar migraines) are headaches that start in the lower part of the brain, called the brainstem. They cause symptoms such as dizziness ...

Stroke affects nearly 800,000 Americans each year. It is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. A basilar artery stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. This can ...

In patients with basilar artery occlusion, treatment with endovascular thrombectomy shows clinical benefit for at least 1 year. The benefits of endovascular thrombectomy are sustained at 1 year for a ...

As such, the purpose of this study is to provide a focused review of the reported cases of anomalous MMA branching from the basilar artery, its anatomy, potential patterns, and clinical significance.

Background: Thrombectomy improves outcomes in patients with basilar artery (BA) occlusion [1,2]. We hypothesized that the anatomic configuration ... we included patients with stroke due to distal BA ...

A basilar artery stroke is a stroke affecting the back of the brain. It can occur when the basilar artery, which provides blood to the posterior areas of the brain, becomes blocked or ruptured.

Basilar Artery Stenosis: Cerebral angiogram of the left vertebral / basilar artery; (Left) AP view; Baseline film; (Right) Post-angioplasty film. Note the severe proximal basilar artery stenosis which ...

Data from trials investigating the effects and risks of endovascular thrombectomy for the treatment of stroke due to basilar-artery occlusion are limited. We conducted a multicenter, prospective ...

The vascular anatomy, clinical presentation, and severity of neurologic deficit in patients with basilar-artery occlusion differ from those in patients with anterior-circulation strokes.

A new study explores how humans seem to be evolving in a very unexpected way — namely, by having a third artery in some of our forearms. In an article published by the Journal of Anatomy ...
