We report on a 68-year-old woman with an abnormal loop of the extracranial VA enlarging the intervertebral foramen at C4-5 and compressing the C5 root causing radiculopathy. The diagnosis was confirmed on contrast enhanced CT and MR angiography after initial conservative treatment was unsuccessful. Microvascular decompression using an anterior approach was curative.
我们报告了一名68岁女性,其颅外椎动脉出现异常袢,使C4-5椎间孔扩大并压迫C5神经根,导致神经根病。在初始保守治疗失败后,通过增强CT和磁共振血管造影确诊。采用前路微血管减压术治愈了该疾病。
