The Arch of Aorta01:10

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...
Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction01:17

Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction

A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...
Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology01:29

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy01:29

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...
Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology01:22

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology

Vasogenic edema is a major form of cerebral edema characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain’s extracellular space due to disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a specialized structure composed of endothelial cells connected by tight junctions, supported by astrocytic endfeet and a basement membrane. Under normal conditions, it tightly regulates the movement of ions, proteins, and solutes between the bloodstream and brain parenchyma. When this barrier loses...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Segmental hypoplasia of the basilar artery is a rare vascular anomaly.
  • This condition can lead to transient vertebrobasilar ischemia.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a rare case of segmental basilar artery hypoplasia.
  • To discuss the embryology and clinical relevance of this anomaly.
  • To highlight the diagnostic utility of specific MRI sequences.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 49-year-old male with transient vertebrobasilar ischemia.
  • Diagnostic imaging included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital angiography (DA).
  • Comparison of findings with previously reported cases and review of literature.

Main Results:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging initially suggested segmental aplasia.
  • Time-of-flight MRI and digital angiography confirmed basilar artery hypoplasia.
  • Ultrathin-slice T2-weighted MRI sequences were critical for accurate diagnosis, distinguishing hypoplasia from aplasia.

Conclusions:

  • Segmental basilar artery hypoplasia is a rare cause of vertebrobasilar ischemia.
  • Ultrathin-slice T2-weighted MRI is mandatory for differentiating basilar artery hypoplasia from aplasia.
  • This imaging technique is essential for definitive diagnosis and clinical management.
