基底动脉弯曲及其临床意义

Basilar artery tortuosity and its clinical significance

随着神经影像学的发展，基底动脉弯曲检出率明显增高。基底动脉弯曲的发生和发展过程受年龄、基底动脉长度、椎动脉优势等因素的影响。基底动脉弯曲会影响后循环血液供应，并可能造成脑干和脑神经压迫导致相应的临床症状。

With the development of neuroimagingo the detection rate of basilar artery tortuosity is significantly high. The occurrence and development processes of basilar artery tortuosity are affected by age, basilar artery length, vertebral artery dominance, and other factors. Basilar artery tortuosity may influence the blood supply of posterior circulation and cause brainstem and cranial nerve pressure leading to clinical symptoms.
