Abstract
|
|
|
|
Injury to vertebral vessel is not usually associated with neurologic deficit and a lot of such injuries have not been recognized. Also, vertebral artery injuries are the least common arterial injuries because of their deep location in a bony canal. The incidence of vertebral artery injury occurring in penetration wound of the neck varies from 1.0% in gunshot wounds to 7.4% in stab wounds. But even vertebral artery injuries in penetration wound of the neck rarely results in cerebellar infarction. Authors experienced a case of cerebellar infarction induced by post-vertebral artery injury in penetration wound of the neck with hypoplastic contralateral verterbral artery. We thus report with a review of the related literature.
