CASE REPORT Left Vertebral Artery Origin from the Thyrocervical Trunk: A Unique Vascular Variant
2015Co-Authors: William M. Strub, James L. Leach, Thomas A. TomsickAbstract:SUMMARY: The vertebral artery normally arises from the subclavian artery, and variations in its origin have been described. We describe a unique case of the left vertebral artery arising from the thyro-cervical Trunk. Anomalies of the extracranial branches of the vertebral ar-tery are rare.1 Patients with cervical vertebral anomalies may present with symptoms of vertebral basilar insufficiency2 ormay be asymptomatic. This report describes a case of anom-alous origin of the left vertebral artery from the Thyrocervical Trunk discovered on CT angiography in a patient with a family member with known aberrant vertebral artery origins. To the best of our knowledge, this vascular variant has not been pre-viously described in the English-language literature. Case Report The patient is a 36-year-old woman with a history of prior posterior fossa decompression for Chiari malformation who presented for pre-operative evaluation of her cerebral vasculature for an upcoming neu

Thyrocervical Trunk-external carotid artery bypass for positional cerebral ischemia due to common carotid artery occlusion. Technical note.
Journal of neurosurgery, 2005Co-Authors: Miguel Melgar, Deshdeepak Sahni, Martin E. WeinandAbstract:Medically refractory positional cerebral ischemia (PCI) and concomitant orthostatic hypotension associated with chronic common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion are rare. In this technical report, the authors describe an extracranial bypass in which the Thyrocervical Trunk was used as a donor vessel to treat three cases of CCA occlusion with PCI. Postoperatively, although orthostatic hypotension remained, ischemia-related symptoms resolved in all three patients and long-term graft patency was demonstrated. It is possible to treat cerebral ischemia due to CCA occlusion with extracranial bypass surgery. In these patients, the Thyrocervical Trunk proved to be a suitable donor vessel for the reconstitution of blood flow within the external carotid artery.

Thyrocervical Trunk-external carotid artery bypass for positional cerebral ischemia due to common carotid artery occlusion. Report of three cases.
Neurosurgical focus, 2003Co-Authors: Miguel Melgar, Martin E. WeinandAbstract:Medically refractory positional cerebral ischemia and concomitant orthostatic hypotension associated with chronic common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion are rare. The authors detail their experience with three cases treated exclusively by an extracranial bypass in which the Thyrocervical Trunk was used as the donor vessel. Postoperatively grafts were patent and symptoms resolved in all three patients, although orthostatic hypotension remained. Postural cerebral ischemia due to CCA occlusion can be treated by extracranial bypass surgery. The Thyrocervical Trunk is a suitable donor for reconstruction of the external carotid artery in these cases.

hemothorax in type i neurofibromatosis
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998Co-Authors: George P Teitelbaum, Richard J Hurvitz, Barry C EsrigAbstract:We report a case of life-threatening hemothorax caused by rupture of a left Thyrocervical Trunk aneurysm and arteriovenous fistula in a patient with type I neurofibromatosis. This lesion was treated with endovascular coil embolization.
