Abstract

The basilar artery (BA) is formed in its inferior aspect by the union of the paired longitudinal neural axis. Superiorly, the fusion from the caudal division from the primitive internal carotid artery leads to basilar tip and superior cerebellar arteries formation [1,2]. For this instance, a basilar fenestration occurs when, at any point in the length of BA, the fusion is not complete. It’s more common at the lower end of BA, immediately superior to where the vertebral arteries join [1,2].
