What does a co-dominant vertebrobasilar system present mean?

A co-dominant vertebrobasilar system refers to a condition where both the left and right vertebral arteries supply blood to the basilar artery and the posterior circulation of the brain equally or nearly so. This anatomical variant can be significant in understanding blood flow dynamics and the risk of ischemia in the posterior circulation. In clinical practice, it may influence the management of conditions such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency or stroke. It's important to assess this system in imaging studies, as variations can affect surgical approaches and treatment strategies.
