Abstract

Two cases with an incidental finding of a widened intervertebral foramen due to extensive tortuosity of the vertebral artery are presented. Computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) both proved to be useful as non-invasive techniques to provide the diagnosis. In-plane saturation is a disadvantage seen with the two-dimensional time-of-flight MRA technique.

摘要

本文报告了两例因椎动脉广泛迂曲而偶然发现椎间孔增宽的病例。计算机断层血管造影和磁共振成像/磁共振血管造影（MRA）均被证明是有助于诊断的非侵入性技术。二维时间飞跃MRA技术存在平面内饱和的缺点。
