- Abstract: Objective To investigate the morphological changes of cerebral blood vessels by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the hospitalized military pilots with central vertigo.Methods Seven pilots were examined by cerebral and aortic arch DSA through femoral artery puncture. Type and distribution of the cerebrovascular abnormalities were observed and analyzed.Results Four pilots out of 7 were thinner unilateral vertebral artery and 2 of them appeared vertebral artery occlusion and the rest 2 pilots showed congenital abnormalities of cerebral artery. One pilot was diagnosed as internal carotid artery stenosis. Only 2 pilots were not detected abnormalities by DSA.Conclusions Congenital abnormalities, stenosis and occlusion of cerebral artery would be the reasons of resulting in pilot's central vertigo.
