Abstract
Two cases of repeated posterior fossa ischaemia are presented. Other sources of embolization, except middle part vertebral artery kinkings were excluded. Medical therapy failed in both cases. A simple surgical technique was employed--kink straightening and fixation. In both cases the surgery was simple, safe, yielding the desired effect.
