Abstract

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of complete type retrotransverse (RTF) and arcuate foramen (AF)'s in a large cohort using three-dimensional (3D) computed images (CT) and explore their correlation with each other.

Methods: Between January 2023 and August 2024, all neck and cervical vertebrae CTs taken in our hospital were scanned retrospectively. It is noted the presence or absence of complete RTF and AF, laterality, gender, and age of those included in the study.

Results: A total of 2000 patients were included in the study, with an equal distribution of females and males. The prevalence of complete AF was 6.4%, 10%, and 16.3% bilaterally, unilaterally, and in total. The prevalence of complete AF was 12% in females and 20.6% in males. The gender prevalence differences of bilateral AF were statistically significant (p < 0.001). The prevalence of complete RTF was 1.8%, 8.9%, and 10.6% bilaterally, unilaterally, and in total. The prevalence of complete RTF was 9.7% in females, and 11.6% in males. The prevalence differences between genders were insignificant (p = 0.173). The ipsilateral prevalence of complete AF and RTF was 0.2%, 0.2%, and 0.4%, respectively, bilateral, unilateral right, and unilateral left.

Conclusions: The complete AF and RTF prevalences in the study group were not uncommon. The prevalence of complete AF and RTF together is quite rare. Complete RTF is more common in elderly patients and on the left side, while complete AF does not show any difference in laterality and age, and is more common in males than in females.

利用三维计算机断层图像测定寰椎完全性后横孔和弓形孔的患病率。

目的：利用三维（3D）计算机图像（CT）确定全型后横孔（RTF）和弓形孔（AF）在大队列中的患病率，并探讨它们之间的相关性。方法：回顾性分析2023年1月~ 2024年8月我院所有颈椎ct检查结果。值得注意的是，研究中包括的患者是否存在完整的RTF和AF，侧侧性，性别和年龄。结果：共纳入2000例患者，男女比例相等。双侧、单侧和总房颤发生率分别为6.4%、10%和16.3%。完全性房颤的患病率女性为12%，男性为20.6%。双侧房颤的性别患病率差异有统计学意义(p)。结论：研究组中完全性房颤和RTF患病率并不少见。完全性心房纤颤和RTF同时出现的情况非常罕见。完全性RTF多见于老年患者和左侧，而完全性房颤在侧侧和年龄上无差异，男性多于女性。

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
