Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of 64-slice spiral CT on atlas vertebral artery sulcus ring syndrome.Methods The 48 atlas vertebral artery sulcus ring patients who were found by conventional anterior posterior and lateral X-ray film were collected.The 64-slice spiral CT volume scan and following volume restitution(V R)and multiplanar reconstruction(MPR)were underwent,and multi-directional structural morphology was displayed.Their relationship with clinical features were analyzed.Results Among 48 cases of atlas vertebral artery sulcus ring,24 cases were shown with right complete bridge[pore size(6.59±0.50)mm],36 cases with left complete bridge[pore size(6.19±0.49)mm],24 cases with right incomplete bridge and 12 cases with left incomplete bridge.Thirty cases were diagnosed as atlas vertebral artery sulcus ring syndrome,and all had the atlantoaxial joint asymmetry and vertigo of different degree when head and neck rotated.Conclusions The 64-slice spiral CT can clearly display the anatomical features of posterior bridge of atlas and measure the pore size of atlas vertebral artery sulcus ring,and it has important diagnostic value for atlas vertebral artery sulcus ring syndrome.
