The vertebral artery is a major artery of the neck that passes through the cervical vertebrae. There are two vertebral arteries, one on each side, and each branches off from the subclavian artery. They merge to form the single basilar artery at the base of the brain.
Vertebral artery dissection (abbreviated VAD, often vertebral dissection) is a dissection (a flap-like tear) of the inner lining of the vertebral artery, which is located in the neck and supplies blood to the brain.his is most likely due to a tear in the tunica intima (the inner layer), allowing blood to enter the tunica media, although other lines of evidence have suggested that the blood may instead arise from the vasa vasorum, the small blood vessels that supply the outer layer of larger blood vessels.
