Abstract
- Vertebral artery injury is common in cervical trauma, and can lead to infarction in some patients with potentially fatal outcomes. The authors encountered a patient with posterior inferior cerebellar artery infarction resulting from preoperative vertebral artery injury after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and posterior decompression and fusion in a 44-year-old male after unilateral cervical facet joint fracture (compression-extension type injury). This paper reports these imaging findings and relevant clinical studies for this case.
