BLOOD CIRCULATION IN THE CRANIOVERTEBRAL REGION IN KIMMERLE ANOMALY. RAY VISUALIZATION
Keywords:
vertebral artery, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, craniovertebral insufficiency, blood flow.Abstract
The vertebrobasilar area is an area where blood circulation can often
be impaired, and this is mainly due to spondylogenic factors. Three groups of patients
with verified Kimmerle's anomaly (N = 45) were examined. All researchers underwent
complex instrumental diagnostics (Doppler ultrasound, X-ray of the cervical spine in
2 projections). It was found that the leading change in the blood flow of the cerebral
arteries according to ultrasound examination is the change in the vertebral arteries in
the canal of the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae of the atlas.
