CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O tingling on the left half of the body since 1 month.
H/O left sided hemiparesis on 00.00.00 from which patient recovered in 8 days.

EXAMINATION :

The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images.

Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.

OBSERVATION :

Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.

INTRACRANIAL MRA :

The left vertebral artery is hypoplastic.

The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre. The visualized anterior cerebral, middle cerebral, basilar, posterior cerebral and right vertebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.






NECK MRA :

The left vertebral artery in the neck is also hypoplastic.

The common carotid arteries and their extracranial branches appear normal bilaterally. There are no vessel wall irregularities or stenosis of the vessels noted.
