The cerebral angiogram showed the territories occluded and also a rare malformation of the cranium vertebral junction called assimilation of the atlas. We concluded that due to the turbulence created in the V3 segment of the vertebral artery surrounding the atlas, the presence of the anti beta2-glycoprotein was the cause of the infarction in this patient.
