Anterior spinal and vertebral artery compression syndromes - what does this mean
Anterior spinal and vertebral artery compression syndromes occur when the vertebral artery is compressed between the cervical vertebrae and the transverse process of the vertebrae, resulting in reduced blood flow to the brain and spinal cord. this can cause a range of symptoms, including dizziness, headaches, neck pain, and numbness or tingling in the extremities.
What happens during the disease - anterior spinal and vertebral artery compression syndromes
Anterior spinal and vertebral artery compression syndromes are caused by compression of the anterior spinal artery and/or vertebral arteries due to an abnormally narrowed or kinked vessel. this compression can cause decreased blood flow to the spinal cord, resulting in neurological symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms and legs. in some cases, the compression can also cause spinal cord infarction, which can result in permanent paralysis.
