Abstract

Objective To analyze the influence of different end-range cervical rotation on the vertebral artery lumen with CTA.    Methods    To trim 8 fresh cervical adult specimens with upper cervical spine(C0~4) is used to build the vitro model loaded 3 kg of vertebral artery. Contrast agent is injected into vertebral artery and the vertebral artery cross-sectional area in the section(C1,C1/2, upper part of C2 vertebral body 1/3, lower part of C2 vertebral body,C3) of the cervical spine were measured by CT in the end-range cervical positions fixed by gimbal mounting: The data were analyzed to study the mechanism of action of vertebral artery space form out of neurohumoral regulation control.    Results    The end-range rotation and the end-range extension rotation caused homolateral vertebral artery stenosis (P<0.05), not on heterolateral (P>0.05), and narrow areas always appeared on upper part of C2 vertebral body 1/3.   Conclusion    (1)The composite vitro vertebral artery model loaded can be used to analyze the influence of different end-range cervical rotation on the vertebral artery lumen with CTA; (2) The end-range rotation and the end-range extension rotation caused homolateral vertebral artery stenosis out of neurohumoral regulation control, and narrow areas always appeared on upper part of C2 vertebral body 1/3 (The outside of the atlantoaxial lateral mass).
