Abstract:〔Abstract〕 Objective To explore the value of ultrasound Doppler in the detection of extracranial vertebral artery in patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis. Methods A total of 100 patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis admitted to Dongguan Waterfront Zone Central Hospital from March 2020 to July 2021 were selected for the study. 50 patients were randomly selected for a neck rotation test (neck rotation group), and the remaining 50 cases were in the non-turned neck group, another 50 cases of healthy physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. The patients were diagnosed by ultrasound Doppler, and the differences in the morphological structure and hemodynamic parameters of the extracranial vertebral artery of the subjects were compared between different groups. Results The proportion of abnormal positions of the vertebral artery into the transverse process foramen in the non-necked neck group was higher than that in the neck-turned group and the control group, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group (P < 0.05); The ratio of tortuous vertebral artery of patients in the neck-turned group and the non-necked neck group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); The ratio of tortuous vertebral artery of patients in the neck-turned group was lower than that in the non-neck-turned group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The vertebral artery peak systolic velocity (Vmax) and end-diastolic blood flow velocity (Vmin) of patients in the neck-turned and non-necked groups were lower than those of the control group, and the vascular resistance index (RI) was greater than that of the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); Vmax and Vmin were lower than those in the non-necked neck group, and the RI of the vertebral artery in the neck-turned group was greater than in the non-turned-necked group, with no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion The application of ultrasound doppler in the detection of the extracranial vertebral artery in patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis can diagnose the disease by observing the morphological structure and hemodynamic parameters of the extracranial vertebral artery.
