Bilateral persistent 'second' intersegmental vertebral arteries: illustrated with a case.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A small subset of patients with adult Chiari I malformation without basilar invagination (BI) and instability show ventral cervicomedullary distortion/compression and have symptoms pertaining to that. The cause of this ventral compression remains speculative. Additionally, it is unclear if these patients wou...
