Abstract
The vertebral arteries are commonly affected by anatomical variations. Here we report an anomalous and aberrant intradural course of left vertebral
artery leading to compression of upper part of spinal cord at cervico-medullary junction and involving the spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve. This leads to the
involvement of motor tracts and trigeminal nerve.
