Compression by an intracranial artery (eg, anterior inferior cerebellar artery, ectatic basilar artery)

Aneurysms in the posterior circulation (basilar artery, vertebral arteries and posterior communicating artery) have a higher risk of rupture.

Also, aneurysms in the posterior circulation (basilar, vertebral and posterior communicating arteries) have a higher risk of rupture.

in the region of the mid-brain, that basilar artery splits into two posterior

Now along the length of this basilar artery are numerous short branches that

Terminal branch of the basilar artery, irrigating the occipital lobe of the brain.

Occlusion or blockage of one deep penetrating artery arising directly from the components of Circle of Willis basilar artery and cerebellar arteries causes Lacunar Infarct.

Single artery resulting from the union of two vertebral arteries, especially rrigating the cerebellum; they then divide to form the two posterior cerebral arteries.

In larger caliber arteries (aorta, brain basilar artery) degenerative phenomena predominate atheromatous softening and therefore has a tendency to expand (aneurysm) and ulcerate in its internal surface (atheromatous ulcer).

Some researchers believe that a basilar migraine occurs when the basilar artery gets constricted, but more research is needed to confirm this.

Angiography is used to diagnose basilar artery thrombosis.

Angioplasty may be used to eliminate blockage in the basilar artery.

Disclosed is a method for measuring the basal artery index along with a system therefor.

Terminal branch of the basilar artery, irrigating the occipital lobe of the brain.

These types include hemiplegic migraines and basilar artery migraines.
