Collateral Gains from Vascular Microsurgery in Vertebral Artery Dolicoarteriopathy
The upcoming presentation at the World Neurology Congress 2026 highlights a fascinating clinical intersection between vascular neurosurgery and functional neurological disorders. This study explores how targeted vascular interventions not only treat vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) but also provide unexpected relief from restless leg syndrome (RLS) and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) .
