  Aims and Objectives: This article aims to determine the most frequent cause of basilar hypoplasia and evaluate the potential impact of associated pathological findings simultaneously. Material and Methods: We have retrospectively reviewed the patients in our archive with basilar hypoplasia and embryonic origin of ACPs. These patients have been studied using 3D TOF with 3D-VR reconstruction. The studies have been carried out using MRI of 1.5 and 3T. Several of them have also undergone cerebral angiography by digital subtraction. Results: The most frequent cause of basilar hypoplasia has been associated with the embryonic origin of both bilateral ACPs with 27 cases. In 3 cases, the basilar artery hypoplasia has been associated with persistent trigeminal artery. In 25 patients studied the basilar hypoplasia was an inc.. Read More»
