CTA showing double lumen



This image taken from my CT Angiogram shows two channels of the left vertebral artery.  In the medical world it is very rare for a doctor to come across this finding. The red arrow points to the left vertebral artery where two bump like images with a separation line between them is seen.  It is known as a double barrel lumen, double lumen or false lumen.  If you compare to the opposite side which is actually the right vertebral you can see this artery is patent and normal with no separation of the artery.
