Supplementary Figure 2: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of VI/9.
From: PDE3A mutations cause autosomal dominant hypertension with brachydactyly
(a) MRI of the hypertensive teenager with mild BDE (VI/9). The red arrows indicate the contacting vessels to the ventrolateral medulla (VLM) on the left and right sides. On the left side, the PICA is the offending artery indicating a type 1 neurovascular contact (nvc). The yellow arrows indicate the cranial nerves IX & X. (b) The red arrows indicate the contacting vessels to the VLM. (c) The upper image shows the left VLM. The red arrows indicate the PICA as an impressive loop contacting the VLM as type 1 nvc. The arrows in the middle image document the PICA attached to the right VLM. The coronal projection displays the vessel signal on both sides of the VLM.
