I have read the previous discussion. I am 51 years old and a MRA shows that I was born without a posteria cerebral artery on the left side. This was after several tests and a couple of events similar to TIA'S. Other than the missing artery, all tests were normal. I am now experiencing problems with language. I often substitute words and have difficulties writing. I also am biting my tongue at night and have body jerks. I started having headaches and am having several vision problems. My question is are these symptoms related to the missing artery? Is this something that gets worse with time? My doctors have told me that I have some kind of neurolgia on the left side of my face, but I have no pain just left sided weakness. Is this a common situatin.
