Abstract:
:The craniocervical regions of seven cadavers (14 sides) injected with silicone rubber were dissected under a Zeiss OPMI surgical microscope. The present study provides a detailed description of the suboccipital segment of the vertebral artery, with particular attention to its loops, branches, supporting osteofibrous structures, adjacent nerves, and surrounding venous structures. Several ligaments fixating the vertebral artery to surrounding structures, which have not been described in previous anatomical studies, were found. The authors propose an anatomically based subdivision of the suboccipital segment of the vertebral artery into five subsegments: infraforaminal, foraminal, supraforaminal, horizontal, and intramembranous. Measurements of surgically and clinically important features were obtained. Surgical approaches to this region are suggested based on a more informed understanding of the local anatomy.
