    The aim of this study was to analyze the variable level of entrance into the transverse foramen and to point the risks of injury of the vertebral artery during accomplishing surgical procedures. For that purpose we examined 40 patients with CT angiography and analyzed the level of entrance into the transverse foramen. The vertebral artery entered the C6 transverse foramen in 38 (95%) patients. Abnormal level of vertebral artery entrance was observed in two (5%) patients, with entrance into the C4 and C5 transverse foramen. The incidence of abnormal level of entrance into the transverse foramen is relatively high, and this potentially dangerous condition should be detected on preoperative imaging in order to avoid vertebral artery injury.

    The aim of this study was to analyze the tortuosity of the vertebral artery and to emphasize the clinical importance of tortuosity. The data derived from this study will add important contribution to our anatomical knowledge, but they will also find clinical applications in radiology and surgery. We examined 40 patients with CT angiography and analyzed the tortuosity of the vertebral artery. Of the vessels examined, 22 (55%) followed a relatively straight course from their origin to their entry into the transverse foramen. The other 18 (45%) patients showed some form of tortuosity. Both vertebral arteries showed high incidence of tortuosity. Our study has highlighted the possible role of vertebral artery tortuosity in diagnostic and surgical procedures in order to prevent vertebral artery injury.
