A member asked:
Do most hypoplastic right vertebral arteries terminate into pica? or is this two lots of rare congenital issues. thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These are not "rare" and they're not "issues." "Issues" is a wastebasket word that is used far too often these days for everything. It's ESPECIALLY meaningless in medicine. What you're asking about is called an "anatomical variant" or a "normal variation." http://www.ajnr.org/content/28/5/976?utm_medium=email&utm_source=transaction
