Bow hunter's syndrome (BHS) is a rare condition induced by occlusion or compression of the vertebral artery (VA) during head movement or rotation. Here, we report a patient with BHS effectively treated with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).
A 75-year-old male experienced recurrent embolic strokes to the posterior circulation. This was attributed angiographically to transient stenosis of the right VA due to a right-sided C5-C6 osteophyte when the head was rotated to the right; the stenosis was improved when the patient rotated his head to the left. The patient successfully underwent a C5-C6 ACDF for removal of the right-sided lateral osteophyte which resulted in no further transient right-sided VA occlusion.
Following a C5-C6 ACDF for removal of a right lateral osteophyte, a 75-year-old male's intermittent right-sided VA occlusion responsible for multiple posterior circulation emboli was relieved.
弓猎综合征(BHS)是一种在头部运动或旋转过程中由椎动脉(VA)闭塞或受压引起的罕见病症。在此,我们报告一例通过颈椎前路椎间盘切除融合术(ACDF)有效治疗的BHS患者。
一名75岁男性出现后循环反复栓塞性中风。血管造影显示,这归因于头部向右侧旋转时,右侧C5 - C6骨赘导致右侧VA短暂狭窄;当患者将头部转向左侧时,狭窄改善。患者成功接受了C5 - C6 ACDF手术以去除右侧外侧骨赘,术后未再出现右侧VA短暂闭塞。
一名75岁男性因右侧外侧骨赘接受C5 - C6 ACDF手术后,其导致多发后循环栓塞的间歇性右侧VA闭塞得到缓解。
