AbstractVertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is defined as an increase in the length and diameter of the intracranial arteries. Clinical manifestations of dolichoectasiae result from compression of the cranial nerves and structures of the brain stem, turbulent flow causing tinnitus and vertigo, often with damages of small blood vessels of the brain. Dolichoectasia is an ishemic stroke risk factor. The role of dolichoectasia in occurrence of haemorrhagic stroke, aneurysm and arterial dissection and thrombosis is still not fully understood (Ref. 34).
