Address for Correspondence: Dr.Shital.Bhishma.Hathila, A-13,Darshanam Villa-2, Near Sapphire School, Near Savita Hospital, Parivar Cross Road, Waghodia Road, Baroda, Gujarat-390025, India. Mobile: 9825121336 E-Mail: bhishushital@gmail.com Background: Vertebral artery radically contributes to the blood supply of brain. Any variation in its form will significantly alter the circulation dynamics in the brain leading to fatal consequences. The aim of the study was to measure the diameter of the intracranial part of vertebral artery on both right and left sides. Materials and method: The study was conducted in Anatomy Department on 30 brains from the cadavers donated to the Medical College Baroda. The diameter of the artery was measured bilaterally with digital vernier caliper and results were statistically analyzed. The data is presented as mean+ SD. Students’ t test has been applied and observation with P<0.05 is considered significant. Result: The current study observed the mean diameter (mm) on the left side to be greater than on the right. One of arteries on the left side was also found to be hypoplastic. Conclusion: The results will have wider implications on medical field as any variation in structure of the vertebral artery will compromise the blood flow to the brain. The study will be useful to neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists and anatomists alike.
