Clinical features of persistent carotidbasilar artery associated with multiple cerebral infarction
Abstract：Objective To explore the cerebral circulation characteristics and clinical features of persistent carotid-basilar artery complicated with multiple cerebral infarction.Methods Clinical data of five patients with persistent carotid-basilar artery complicated with multiple cerebral infarction confirmed by CT,diffusion weighted imaging,digital subtraction angiography,magnetic resonance angiography or CT angiography were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical materials,stroke etiological subtype and pathogenesis were analyzed.Results All the five patients had multiple cerebral infarction with paroxysmal dizziness and 2 of them had one-side weakness.There were 4 with persistent trigeminal artery and 1 with persistent hypoglossar artery.The stroke etiological subtypes of all the five patients were large-artery atherosclerotic cerebral infarction and the pathogenesis was arteryto-artery embolism.Conclusions The normal cerebral circulation is changed by persistent carotid-basilar artery,which is related with the pathogenesis of multiple cerebral infarction.
