The earliest case of extracranial aneurysm of the vertebral artery

Abstract

A lesion is described on the body of C from the skeleton of an adult male recovered from a 15th century site in 4 Gloucester. The most plausible explanation for the lesion is that it represents the negative image of an extracranial aneurysm of the vertebral artery and thus is the earliest case described.
