A case report: C2 radiculopathy induced by neck flexion due to the cord compression of C2 segmental type vertebral artery relieved by microvascular decompression.

Conclusion: An anomalous VA rarely causes cervical radiculopathy induced by neck flexion. When it occurs, microvascular decompression effectively relieves pressure resulting in a resolution of symptoms. PMID: 29900031 [PubMed]
