Congenital hypoplasia of the right C6 pedicle and anomalous vertebral artery entry: illustrative case

This case underscores the importance of thorough radiological evaluation in identifying rare cervical spine malformations and their potential clinical significance. Recognition of such anomalies is critical for surgical planning and risk mitigation, especially during anterior cervical spine procedures. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25161.
