    <abstract locale="en_US">Bilateral extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion is a rare cause of&#xA0;transient ischemic attacks and stroke. In this situation, usually posterior&#xA0;circulation is the main source of brain blood supply. Insufficient posterior&#xA0;circulation with bilateral internal carotid artery is scarce, and its clinical&#xA0;picture in this condition is unpredictable. A 64-years-old man was admitted&#xA0;with recurrent transient ischemic attacks as hemiparesis (right hemiparesis&#xA0;except for one which left hemiparesis). Evaluations disclosed bilateral&#xA0;extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion accompanied with hypoplastic&#xA0;left vertebral artery and about 90% of stenosis in right vertebral artery as a&#xA0;main source of brain blood supply. This is a rare of case stenotic right&#xA0;vertebral artery as the only source of anterior and posterior brain blood&#xA0;supply, in absence of persistent neurologic sign, that has not been reported&#xA0;by now.</abstract>
