We studied four groups of one hundred patients older than forty years. A group with radiological signs of cervical arthrosis was statistically compared with another one without such signs. There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to the presence of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Then we compared one hundred patients diagnosed of vertebrobasilar insufficiency with another group without this disease. When cervical arthrosis cases in these two groups were statistically compared, we could not find any significant differences. We think cervical arthrosis is not an important etiologic factor in vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Our results point to atherosclerotic lesions as the main cause of this entity.
我们研究了四组年龄超过40岁的患者，每组100人。将有颈椎关节病放射学征象的一组与另一组无此征象的患者进行统计学比较。两组在椎基底动脉供血不足的存在方面无显著差异。然后，我们将100例被诊断为椎基底动脉供血不足的患者与另一组无此病的患者进行比较。当对这两组中的颈椎关节病病例进行统计学比较时，未发现任何显著差异。我们认为颈椎关节病不是椎基底动脉供血不足的重要病因。我们的研究结果表明动脉粥样硬化病变是该病症的主要原因。
