Abstract
The vertebral artery and its branches are target of arteriographic investigations, ultrasound and Doppler
visualization, MRI and CT imaging in many contemporary diagnostic procedures. The big horizon of
procedures in the interventional and diagnostic radiology, orthopedic and surgery opens new avenues
for the study of anatomy and especially variations of the vertebral artery and its branches. The aim of
the present report is to give a summary of the vertebral artery anatomy as well as its variations, and to
emphasize there clinical importance.
