Vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) describes a temporary set of symptoms due to decreased blood flow in the posterior circulation of the brain. The posterior circulation supplies the medulla , pons , midbrain , cerebellum and (in 70-80% of people) supplies the posterior cerebellar artery to the thalamus and occipital cortex . [ 1 ]
In this condition, the affected arm may receive blood supply flowing in a retrograde direction down the vertebral artery, potentially compromising the vertebrobasilar circulation. Subclavian steal syndrome is considered more severe than typical vertebrobasilar insufficiency .
Posterior cerebral artery syndrome is a condition whereby the blood supply from the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is restricted, leading to a reduction of the function of the portions of the brain supplied by that vessel: the occipital lobe, the inferomedial temporal lobe, a large portion of the thalamus, and the upper brainstem and midbrain.
The portion of vertebral arteries located within the skull (intracranial) have diameters of 3.17 mm. The intracranial length for the left vertebral artery (32.4 mm) is longer than the right (31.5 mm). The angle where vertebral arteries meet the basilar artery (vertebrobasilar junction), is 46 degrees. [10]

The basilar artery (U.K.: / ˈ b æ z. ɪ. l ə /; [1] [2] U.S.: / ˈ b æ s. ə. l ər / [3]) is one of the arteries that supplies the brain with oxygen-rich blood.. The two vertebral arteries and the basilar artery are known as the vertebral basilar system, which supplies blood to the posterior part of the circle of Willis and joins with blood supplied to the anterior part of the circle of ...
The Vertebral Artery Test or Wallenberg Test is a physical exam for vertebral artery insufficiency.. Commonly, the VA test involves cervical spine motion to an end-range position of rotation, extension or a combination of both.
Anterior cerebral artery syndrome is a condition whereby the blood supply from the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is restricted, leading to a reduction of the function of the portions of the brain supplied by that vessel: the medial aspects of the frontal and parietal lobes, basal ganglia, anterior fornix and anterior corpus callosum.
