In general, the level of the VA entrance into the transverse foramen is assumed to be C6. But the VA anomalies at C7 level surely exist To investigate  Anatomy of VA V2 segment  Anatomical features of C7 pedicle with or without VA entry based on CT angiography in consecutive Japanese 919 subjects The aim of this study

Results Total number of subjects: 919 (male:female= 358:561). Average age (mean±SD): 56.1±12.3 (14-91).

Results C7 pedicle diameter in 14 cases Without VA With VA
