抄録

In 72 consecutive patients diagnosed as having basilar artery stenosis or occlusion by threedimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF MRA), we assessed the risk factors, cerebrovascular attacks, symtoms, infarct location and collateral circulation. Three groups were compared: they displayed occlusion (A group, n=7); stenosis≥50% in diameter with an irregular arterial wall (B group, n=50); and stenosis≥50% with a smooth arterial wall (C group, n=15). The mean age of the patients was 69.9 y, and that in the A group was less (59.1 y) than that in the two other groups. Cumulative cerebrovascular attacks were more commonly observed in the A group (66.7%) than in the B group (48.8%) and the C group (18.2%) (p<0.1). TIA was most common in the A group (66.7%, p<0.05). Concerning the symptoms at the times of attack, diplopia was the most common symptom in the A group (100%, p<0.0005). Infarcts in the dorsal pons on MRI were more frequently seen in the A group (28.6%) than in the B group (6.0%) and the C group (0%) (p<0.05). A bilateral fetal configuration of the circle of Willis on MRA was most common in the C group (93.3%), followed by the A group (42.9%) and B group (8.2%) (p<0.001). Our findings suggest that both the A and B groups have an atherosclerotic basilar artery, while the C group has an originally hypoplastic basilar artery. The clinical features of the three groups are evidently different from each other.
