[The vertebrobasilar blood circulation of the brain in the presence of Kimmerle's anomaly].
The article deals with a rather rare pathology of the 1st cervical vertebra (Kimmerle anomaly), which frequently may lead to rather serious, and sometimes hardly explicable changes in vertebrobasilar circulation. It is necessary to stress that practicing physicians have little information about this dysraphia and frequently cannot make its diagnosis. However, Kimmerle anomaly can be easily revealed almost at pre-hospital stage by the method of spondylography, which frequently resolves the tactics of treatment of a patient. It's important that the influence of such anomaly upon vertebrobasilar circulation can be verified by the method of angiography. In this case a subtraction digital angiography is used. This modern and highly informative method proves that the Kimmerle anomaly is the reason of the circulation disorders in brain stem of a patient.
