Abstract

The Kimmerle’s anomaly is the anatomical variant of the first cervical vertebrae. There is an osseous ponticle or calcified ligament around the sulcus of arteria vertebralis. Symptoms occur by compression of the vertebral artery and peripheral nervous structures in this osseous channel. In this report we present a 35-year-old female patient with chronic headache and vasomotor symptoms. Kimmerle’s anomaly should be taken into consideration in patient with chronic headache and vasomotor symptoms.

Özet

Kimmerle anomalisi birinci servikal vertebranın anatomik bir varyantıdır. Vertebral arterin geçtiği olukta osseöz bir kanal ya da kalsifiye bir ligaman mevcuttur. Vertebral arterin ve komşu nöral yapıların bu kanalda sıkışması ile semptomlar ortaya çıkar. Bu yazıda kronik baş boyun ağrısı ve vazomotor semptomları olan 35 yaşında bayan hasta sunduk. Kimmerle anomalisi kronik baş boyun ağrısı veya servikal vazomotor semptomları olan hastalarda akla gelmelidir.
