Abstract:
The study involved 40 patients with symptoms of clinical vertebral-basilar artery decline as headache, balance disorder, movement disorder, cognitive disorder, and sleep disorder, and 100 Vietnamese healthy controls. All participants were divided into 3 age groups: under 40 years, 40 to 49 years, and 50 to 59 years. Results: in vertebral-basilar artery decline, Doppler Vd parameters reduced to less than 5 cm/s. MRI reduced to less than 0.02 and RI increased by more than 0.75; PI increased by 0.20. If clinical and CW Doppler Ultrasound findings showed the lateral or bilateral vertebral artery decline, it should be indicated 4-position neck spinography.
