Diversion of blood flow from the basilar artery to the subclavian artery due to occlusion of its proximal segment, resulting in cerebral ischemia. The symptoms include vertigo and/or presyncope following upper extremity exercise on the side of the occlusion. Absence of the pulse on the affected side, pain and numbness of the arm and and hand, headache, and hypotension are the additional symptoms. Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, vascular anomalies, injuries, tumors, and surgery are the principal causes.
