A 43-year-old man developed cerebellar infarction due to atlantoaxial dislocation associated with os odontoideum. Cervical X-ray films confirmed os odontoideum, and conventional angiography revealed irregular narrowing of the right vertebral artery at the axis level. A correlation between the vertebral artery lesion and atlantoaxial instability was shown with 3-dimensional (3-D) computed tomographic (CT) angiography. This is the first case of atlantoaxial dislocation with vertebral artery stenosis demonstrated 3-D CT angiography. 3-D CT angiography can support the conventional angiography with respect to the diagnosis and management of vertebral artery insufficiency associated with occipitocervical deformity.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
