Vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm usually occurs after major trauma, but it can arise spontaneously after trivial injury. Clinical manifestations are often related to alterations in the posterior brain circulation. CT and angiography are usually the diagnostic methods of choice. We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the left vertebral artery caused by a lesion during a cervical spine surgery and treated with endovascular approach with a covered stent.
