The authors sought to achieve adequate decompression of the vertebral artery (VA) with less stability decrease and movement restriction via the anterior approach, and to the authors' knowledge, no case of anterior decompression of this condition has been reported, and combination of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography in the setting of VA decompression is also rare.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 77\u2010year\u2010old man presented continuous vertigo, unsteady gait and dysphagia with no relationship to the head movement.
