	Basilar artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basilar artery arises from the vertebral arteries.
		In human anatomy, the basilar artery is one of the arteries that supplies the brain with oxygen-rich blood.
		From the basilar artery arise branches for the supply of the cerebellum (largely via the anterior inferior cerebellar artery), as well as smaller branches for the supply of the pons.

	Neurology
		Basilar migraine was described by Bickerstaff in 1961 as a rare variant of migraine which frequently affects young women and girls and bears a strong relationship with menses.
		The symptoms noted in the aura phase of the basilar artery migraine are the result of a combination of disturbances in the cerebellum, brainstem, and occipital lobes, which generally last for less than one hour.
		Patients with basilar migraines should be screened for the presence of additional stroke risk factors such as a family history of cerebrovascular accident, smoking, and the use of oral contraceptives.

	Basilar Artery Syndrome
		The basilar artery is a single major artery in the front of the brainstem which supplies several vital structures in the brain (pons, midbrain, upper cerebellar hemispheres, and thalami).
		The basilar artery itself may be narrowed in its proximal, middle, or distal part, or it may be transiently occluded from a blood clot from the heart, or else there may be a narrowing of one of the many branches of the basilar artery.
		Basilar artery disease is a serious problem and commonly warrants the use of anticoagulation in the short or long term.

		It usually occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked by a thrombus (blood clot) that forms as the result of atherosclerosis (commonly known as hardening of the arteries).
		The other major site of trouble, the basilar artery, is formed at the base of the skull from the vertebral arteries, which run up along the spine and join at the back of the head.
		With this procedure a healthy artery in the scalp is rerouted to an area of the brain that was deprived of blood because of a blocked artery.

		The patient suffered a fatal complication during the procedure due to rupture of the basilar artery by the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty guidewire apparatus, leading to massive subarachnoid hemorrhage.
		Rupture of the basilar artery occurred during the attempt to treat the mid-basilar artery stenosis.
		Arterial rupture is a rarely described complication of PTA of either the cardiac or cerebral vasculature.35 This low complication rate is probably due to the careful attention given to the size of the balloon catheter and the skill of the experienced interventional radiologist.

		WESTPORT, Jan 19 (Reuters Health) - Elective stenting of basilar artery stenosis is technically possible and causes minimal neurologic injury, according to a report published in the January issue of Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
		The investigators report their experience in using such stents in patients with basilar artery atherosclerotic lesions.
		In light of their experience, the investigators conclude that "[e]lective stenting of the basilar artery is feasible, with minimal risk to the patient." They add that further studies are required to determine the durability of elective stenting and its long-term impact on stroke prevention.
