椎动脉狭窄常由动脉粥样硬化引起,由于症状不典型、无创性检查不易检出等,临床诊断较为困难.椎动脉狭窄患者的年卒中发生率较高,以有症状重度椎动脉狭窄为著,约20％的后循环卒中由椎动脉狭窄引起.文章就椎动脉狭窄的流行病学、自然史、诊断和治疗进行了综述.

Vertebral artery stenosis (VAS) is often caused by atherosclerosis.The clinical diagnosis is more difficult because the symptoms are not typical,and the non-invasive examination is not easy to be detected.The annual stroke incidence is higher in patients with VAS,particularly the symptomatic severe vertebral artery stenosis.About 20％ of posterior circulation strokes are caused by VAS.This article reviews the epidemiology,natural history,diagnosis and clinical treatment of VAS.
