Anomalous origin of vertebral arteries is a rare vascular anomaly and mostly discovered as incidental findings during computed tomography angiogram , magnetic resonance angiography or digital subtracted angiogram of the aortic arch and cerebral vessels. Herein, we present an extremely rare case of a 31-year-old female who presented with headache after emotional trauma. A conventional cerebral angiogram showed anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery. This finding was incidentally discovered, and it is of utmost importance for future head and neck endovascular interventions to avoid inadvertent arterial injury.
椎动脉异常起源是一种罕见的血管异常，大多在主动脉弓和脑血管的计算机断层血管造影、磁共振血管造影或数字减影血管造影检查时作为偶然发现。在此，我们报告一例极为罕见的31岁女性病例，该患者在情绪创伤后出现头痛。常规脑血管造影显示右椎动脉异常起源。这一发现是偶然发现的，对于未来的头颈部血管内介入治疗以避免意外动脉损伤极为重要。
