What does vertebral artery hypoplasia feel like?

The brain adapts — but not infinitely 🧠

In young people, vertebral artery hypoplasia is often asymptomatic due to the body’s ability to compensate blood flow through the opposite vertebral artery or via collateral circulation. In most cases, this condition is considered congenital — present from birth — but it is frequently discovered incidentally at a young age during evaluations for headaches, dizziness, balance disturbances, or as part of a routine check-up. Although hypoplasia is not a disease in itself, it may become clinically relevant in certain contexts, such as intense physical exertion, cervical spine trauma, degenerative changes of the cervical spine, or when associated with other vascular risk factors.
