The relationships of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia with the particularities of neurovascular conflict and images findings are discussed. patient who developed trigeminal neuralgia caused by VBD patient, who presented with a 3-year history of severe paroxysmal and lancinating right facial pain in V2 and V3 trigeminal territories. brain demonstrated an elongated and tortuous vertebrobasilar artery causing mechanical compression at the right Arachnoid dissection revealed a large vascular structure, identified as dolichoectasia of the basilar artery, dislocating and compressing the right ventrolateral region of Two types of symptoms were found associated with intracranial arterial dolichoectasia: those resulting from the compression of structures adjacent to the abnormal vessel and J.
