Vertebral artery hypoplasia and fetal posterior cerebral artery
Abstract：Objective To study the incidence of vertebral artery hypoplasia and the coexistant ver‐tebral artery hypoplasia and fetal posterior cerebral artery ratio .Methods Six hundred and eight patients screened from the 13298 people undergoing physical examination were divided into obser‐vation group (n=306) and control group (n=302) .The detection rate of fetal posterior cerebral artery in 2 groups was analyzed .Results Vertebral artery hypoplasia was detected in 1342 out of the 13298 patients with an incidence of 10 .1% .Coexistant vertebral artery hypoplasia and fetal posterior cerebral artery were detected in 150 patients of observation group with an incidence of 49 .0% and in 53 patients of control group with an incidence of 17 .5% .The detection rate of fetal posterior cerebral artery was significantly higher in observation group than in control group (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Vertebral artery hypoplasia is not uncommon and is usually complicated by fe‐tal posterior cerebral artery .
