Ponticulus posticus (PP) is a medical term that describes an anomaly of the atlas (C1), which has a complete or partial bone bridge over the vertebral artery (VA) groove. The purpose of the study is to estimate the prevalence of PP in patients with a diagnosis of migraine.
Cone beam CT (CBCT) scans (n = 220) were reviewed for the detection of PP in the University "G. D'Annunzio" of Chieti in the Department of Medical, Oral and Biotechnological Sciences. The sample included 220 Italian patients between 18 and 87 years. Pearson chi-square analysis ( < 0.05 and 95% CI) was used to establish an association between migraine and PP.
The present study found a prevalence of PP of 20.9% and a prevalence of migraine of 12.272%. The association between migraine and PP was confirmed by the chi-square statistic, since the -value was 0.008065 (significant at < 0.05). PP was more frequent in the migraine without aura group, without a statistical difference relative to the migraine with aura group.
The study concluded that PP is positively associated with migraine.
后小钩(PP)是一个医学术语,用于描述第一颈椎(C1)的一种异常情况,即椎动脉(VA)沟上存在完整或部分骨桥。本研究的目的是评估偏头痛患者中PP的患病率。
对基耶蒂“G. 达努齐奥”大学医学、口腔和生物技术科学系的锥束CT(CBCT)扫描(n = 220)进行回顾,以检测PP。样本包括220名年龄在18至87岁之间的意大利患者。采用Pearson卡方分析(< 0.05和95%置信区间)来确定偏头痛与PP之间的关联。
本研究发现PP的患病率为20.9%,偏头痛的患病率为12.272%。卡方统计证实了偏头痛与PP之间的关联,因为P值为0.008065(在< 0.05时具有显著性)。PP在无先兆偏头痛组中更为常见,与有先兆偏头痛组相比无统计学差异。
该研究得出结论,PP与偏头痛呈正相关。
