RESUMO
Persistent hypoglossal artery is a rare primitive anastomose which mainly supplies the posterior cerebral circulation by itself in the case of the absent vertebral arteries. This artery is an embryological remnant and is commonly found incidentally. It originates from the upper cervical vertebra (C1-C2 level) of the internal carotid artery. Here we present a unique case suï¬ering from syncope related to persistent hypoglossal artery which supplies the posterior cerebral blood ï¬ow in the absence of the vertebral arteries with the classical ï¬ndings on magnetic resonance imaging and our clinical approach.
