Subclavian steal syndrome is a relatively rare condition that results from occlusion of the subclavian artery proximal to the origin of the vertebral artery.This causes a reversal in the direction of the blood flow in the vertebral artery, leading to symptoms of vertebrobasilar insufficiency.In this article, we report a case of subclavian steal syndrome in an elderly female, who was investigated with Doppler and CT angiography in our department.
