From the case: Fenestrated vertebral artery - right V2 segment

Incidental right vertebral artery fenestration at the C5 level.

Another anatomic variant present in this case is a bovine aortic arch.

Fenestration of the extracranial vertebral artery is a rare variant, and can mimic arterial dissection.
