Occlusion of vertebral artery due to transverse canal osteochondroma
Résumé
Osteochondroma is a non-rare benign osseous neoplasm
[1] that is often observed within the posterior arch of vertebrae.
Vascular compression may be observed because of this
exuberant bone formation [2]. Vertebral artery compression
in transverse canal is exceptional. We report on a case of
vertebral artery occlusion related to compressive osteochondroma,
responsible for acute stroke in the vertebrobasilar
system.
