RVAI can be subdivided on the basis of the anatomical location of vertebral artery compression into atlantoaxial RVAI (pathology at C1-C2) or subaxial RVAI (pathology below C2). Typically, RVAI is only seen with contralateral vertebral artery pathologies, such as atherosclerosis, hypoplasia, or morphological atypia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors present a unique case of atlantoaxial RVAI due to rotational instability, causing marked subluxation of the C1-C2 facet joints. This case is unique in both the mechanism of compression and the lack of contralateral vertebral artery pathology. The patient was successfully treated with posterior C1-C2 instrumentation and fusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>When evaluating patients for RVAI, neurosurgeons should be aware of the variety of pathological causes, including rotational instability from facet joint subluxation. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the pathologies causing RVAI, care must be taken to decide if conservative management or surgical correction is the right course of action. Because of this heterogeneous nature, there is no set guideline for the treatment or management of RVAI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case20169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]],"date-time":"2021-03-01T07:30:17Z","timestamp":1614583817000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Atypical presentation of rotational vertebral artery insufficiency: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Pranish A.","family":"Kantak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarv","family":"Priya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Girish","family":"Bathla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Zanaty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick W.","family":"Hitchon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"b1","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"259","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-197805000-00013","article-title":"Bow hunter\u2019s stroke","volume":"2","author":"Sorensen BF","year":"1978","unstructured":"Sorensen BF.
