Abstract

Abstract: In humans, body asymmetry might affect vascular asymmetry. This study aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between side asymmetry and the presence of ponticulus posticus (PP) anomaly, carotid, and vertebral artery stenosis. Retrospective analysis was done on the data files of patients with carotid and vertebral arteries who were admitted to our hospital between November 2018 and December 2022 for the presence of PP anomaly. There were 31 patients (25 males and 6 females, with a median age as 69.54 years (range 51-84 years). PP anomaly was detected in 11 of 31 patients (31.48% of cases). The correlation test showed that the presence of PP was negatively correlated with carotid stenosis on the right side, but there was no such correlation on the left. This study demonstrated that there is an innovative anatomical correlation between the PP anomaly and carotid stenosis in the adult patient cohort.

后桥异常与颈动脉、椎动脉狭窄相互作用的首次报道。

摘要：人体的不对称可能影响血管的不对称。本研究旨在探讨侧不对称是否与后桥（PP）异常、颈动脉和椎动脉狭窄有关。回顾性分析2018年11月至2022年12月因PP异常入院的颈动脉和椎动脉患者的资料档案。31例患者，男25例，女6例，年龄51 ~ 84岁，中位69.54岁。31例患者中有11例（31.48%）出现PP异常。相关性检验显示PP的存在与右侧颈动脉狭窄呈负相关，而左侧颈动脉狭窄无相关。该研究表明，在成人患者队列中，PP异常与颈动脉狭窄之间存在一种新颖的解剖学相关性。

期刊介绍： The journal has a clinical foundation and has been utilized most by clinical neurologists for improving the practice of neurology. While the focus is on neurology in India, the journal publishes manuscripts of high value from all parts of the world. Journal publishes reviews of various types, original articles, short communications, interesting images and case reports. The journal respects the scientific submission of its authors and believes in following an expeditious double-blind peer review process and endeavors to complete the review process within scheduled time frame. A significant effort from the author and the journal perhaps enables to strike an equilibrium to meet the professional expectations of the peers in the world of scientific publication. AIAN believes in safeguarding the privacy rights of human subjects. In order to comply with it, the journal instructs all authors when uploading the manuscript to also add the ethical clearance (human/animals)/ informed consent of subject in the manuscript. This applies to the study/case report that involves animal/human subjects/human specimens e.g. extracted tooth part/soft tissue for biopsy/in vitro analysis.
