Abstract

Kimmerle’s anomaly is an anatomical variant of atlas. In this article, we report a 28-year-old female patient of bilateral complete Kimmerle's anomaly presenting symptomatically with the signs of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. In particular, Kimmerle's anomaly should be considered in patients admitted with vertigo, headache, nausea, and facial paresthesia with neck pain with unexplained symptoms. Patients should be informed on the possibility of vertebral artery injury for cervical manipulation, surgery, and repeated traumas

Özet

Kimmerle anomalisi atlasın anotomik bir varyantıdır. Bu yazıda, vertebrobaziler yetmezlik bulguları ile semptomatik olarak seyreden iki taraflı komplet Kimmerle anomalisi olan 28 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunuldu. Özellikle boyun ağrısıyla birlikte vertigo, baş ağrısı, bulantı, yüzde parestezi ile gelen ve semptomları açıklanamayan hastalarda, bu anomali akılda tutulmalıdır. Servikal manipülasyon, cerrahi ve tekrarlayan travmalarda, hastalar vertebral arter hasarı olasılığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelidir
