Abstract
|
|
|
|
Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) is the most frequently observed fetal anastomosis between the carotid and vertebrobasilar circulations. PTA is usually associated with hypoplasia or aplasia of the vertebrobasilar artery. A 56-year-old woman presented with right hemiparesis and dysarthria. Brain MRI showed acute infarction in the right paramedian pons. CT angiogram revealed right persistent trigeminal artery and hypoplasia of the proximal basilar artery.
