title: [Persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis: arteria proatlantica in ipsilateral aplasia of the vertebral artery and contralateral hypoplasia].
abstract: We report on a rare case of aplasia of the left vertebral artery, while the basilar artery is supplied by the proatlantal artery, a persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis. The right vertebral artery appears to be hypoplastic.
