title: [Transitory ischemia of the mesencephalon caused by vertebral angiography].
abstract: Vertebral angiography, performed using catheterization according to Seldinger, is followed by a transitory Weber syndrome. The Authors maintain that the vessel spasm of the vertebro-basilar territory, visible during the angiography, is the main cause of the transitory ischemic attach at the base of the mesencephalon.
