Abstract

We report an abnormal origin of a vertebral artery (VA) on the left side of a 72-year-old male cadaverand refer to its clinical importance. In this cadaver, the left VA was originated from a common trunkwith the left subclavian artery from the aortic arch. The significance of this arterial variety is crucial forsurgery or invasive procedures at the base of the neck or trauma involving cervical structures.

Özet

Bu çalışmada 72 yaşındaki erkek kadavrada sol arteria vertebralis (AV)'in anormal orijini gösterilmiş ve bu varyasyonun klinik önemine değinilmiştir. Bu kadavrada sol AV’nin, sol arteria subclavia ile birlikte, arcus aorta'dan çıkan ortak bir kökten orijin aldığı tespit edildi. Bu arteriyel varyasyonun boyun cerrahisi, invaziv kapalı girişimler ve boyun travmaları açısından önemli olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
