Abstract
The patient is a 22-year-old male with a history of C1 avulsion fracture causing vertebral artery compression with pseudoaneurysm and symptomatic stroke. Cerebral angiography demonstrated dynamic compression of the V3 segment of the vertebral artery due to a chronic C1 avulsion fracture. The authors utilized a full endoscopic approach with intraoperative angiography for proximal control and Doppler ultrasound to confirm adequate decompression. The surgery duration was 3 hours with blood loss < 5 ml. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 1 with no complication and has been asymptomatic since surgery. This is the first documented use of endoscopic decompression to treat this condition. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2024.1.FOCVID23234.
