We treated 3 cases having “vertigo”, which seemed to occur by intermittent vertebral artery compression syndrome.
In the 3 cases, a 34 years old female, a 39 years old female and a 45 years old male, all patients complained mainly vertigo at extention of the neck, nausea and headache.
We observed central vestibular disorder in neuro-otological examination. And also vertebral angiography showed abnormality.
As treatment to 2 cases we performed cervical anterior spinal fusion and on vertebral artery performed Powers and Hardin & Poser operations.
At 1 case we adopted conservative therapy mainly by stellate ganglion block.
In 3 cases the symptoms occured by intermittent vertebral artery compression syndrome were improved.
