This rapid survey of 17 casesreported as occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery shows theconfusion with the vertebral, and the difficulty of excluding extension ofthe clot to the latter vessel. The anatomical study of the distribution ofthese two arteries unfortunately has failed to assist directly—in fact, ithas shown that occlusion of either vessel may cause precisely the samesymptoms; but the following conclusions may indirectly help
