Abstract
Although conventional arteriography is usually performed to study the vertebrobasilar system, we report two cases of traumatic vertebrobasil ar vascular occlusion that were diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiog raphy. This enabled us to promptly treat the patients. Our experience suggests that magnetic resonance angiography may be a useful diagnosti c tool in the setting of acute vertebrobasilar complications, associat ed with cervical spine trauma.
