NBME exam showed vertebral angiogram. Q: Whats affected. Ans: Ataxic limb movements.

Please explain

  #2

Trace the vertebral artery and u wil find this to be either PICA or AICA either ways its gonna produce Ataxic Limb Movements.

Also, I remember in that question that they showed all of the answers except the ataxic limb movements to be supratentorial signs, and the only infratentorial sign was that ataxic limb movments, since the Posterior Inferior Cerebellar artery was affected, which is also the first branch of the vertebral artery and affects both cebellar hemisphere and medulla oblongata. Review Wallenberg's Syndrome.
