Basilar artery bands (BAB) are described in scant reports in the literature as shelves, bridges, septa, or webs within the lumen of the basilar artery. The anatomy and histology of these bands have only recently been fully explored and classified. Although there has been evidence of non-atherosclerotic calcification of these structures and vertebrobasilar atherosclerosis, previous studies have not demonstrated any plaque or thrombus formation on the basilar artery bands. Herein, we report the unique finding of a thrombus associated with a BAB. This case report warns interventionalists and neurosurgeons that there could be a thrombus around the BAB.
文献中关于基底动脉束（BAB）的报道较少，将其描述为基底动脉管腔内的嵴、桥、隔膜或蹼。这些束的解剖结构和组织学直到最近才得到充分研究和分类。尽管已有证据表明这些结构存在非动脉粥样硬化性钙化以及椎基底动脉粥样硬化，但先前的研究并未在基底动脉束上发现任何斑块或血栓形成。在此，我们报告了一例与基底动脉束相关的血栓这一独特发现。本病例报告提醒介入医师和神经外科医生，基底动脉束周围可能存在血栓。
