Abstract

Extra cranial Vertebral Artery (VA) aneurysms are very uncommon accounting for 0.5% of all aneurysms; they generally affect the most mobile segment, the V3 segment, followed by the V1 segment. Here we report the successful ligation of a symptomatic impending rupture of extra cranial second part right vertebral artery (V2) pseudo aneurysm in a 35-years-old male and highlighting the treatment options in emergency situations for extra cranial VA injuries.
