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).

Title: Collateral gains from vascular microsurgical intervention on the V1 segment dolicoarteriopathy of the vertebral artery: alleviating restless leg syndrome and urgency urinary incontinence symptoms in refractory vertebrobasilar insufficiency cases

Presented by: Mehmet Erkan Ustun, Ankara University, Turkey

🔬 Key Highlights of the Study

  • ✔️ Focus on V1 segment dolicoarteriopathy (grade 2 & 3 kinking) of the vertebral artery
  • ✔️ Study includes 78 patients with refractory VBI symptoms
  • ✔️ Advanced diagnostics used:
    • Brain MRI
    • Cervical & brain MR angiography
    • CT perfusion studies (pre & post surgery)
  • ✔️ Surgical techniques tailored to severity:
    • Arteriolysis
    • Perivascular sympathectomy
    • Graft positioning

📊 Major Outcomes

  • 🔹 85.7% of patients experienced complete resolution of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
  • 🔹 Significant reduction in Urgency Urinary Incontinence (UUI) symptoms
  • 🔹 87.8% achieved complete remission of VBI symptoms
  • 🔹 85% improvement in cerebral perfusion (17 out of 20 patients)
  • 🔹 Strong correlation between improved brain perfusion and symptom relief

🧩 Clinical Significance

  • 🧠 Suggests a vascular contribution to conditions like RLS and UUI
  • 🩺 Reinforces the importance of vascular evaluation in refractory neurological cases
  • 🔄 Demonstrates how microneurosurgical intervention can deliver multi-system benefits
  • 🌍 Opens new perspectives for treating complex neurovascular disorders
