Abstract
tThe authors report an unusual case of a patient with combined vertebral artery and Chiari malformation anomalies. Unless such anomalies are properly recognized prior to decompression and fusion, this condition can have grave surgical consequences. The diagnostic and surgery-related implications of such anomalous codiseases are discussed.
