Abstract:
Basilar artery hypoplasia (BAH) has been paid less attention to in the past.However,the increased detection rate makes the clinical significance of BAH to be gradually recognized.BAH have interaction with vascular risk factors,and this may promote the occurrence of ischemic events in posterior circulation.Brain evoked potential can be used as an important means for early detection of this pathophysiological events.The depth study of pathological significance of BAH helps to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of posterior circulation ischemic events.
