Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency

Vertebro-basilar insufficiency (VBI) is a serious disease that is caused by impaired blood supply to the brain due to decreased blood flow through the vertebral arteries and basilar artery. This disease can lead to a number of dangerous consequences, including stroke and even death.

The vertebral arteries and basilar artery are key elements of the cerebral circulatory system. They provide blood circulation to the back of the brain, including the brain stem and cerebrum. Disruption of blood supply through these arteries can lead to serious problems in the functioning of the brain.

Symptoms of VBI can vary and include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, double vision, loss of balance, weakness in the limbs, difficulty coordinating movements, etc. In some cases, convulsions and loss of consciousness may occur.

The causes of VBI can be atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic angiopathy, aneurysms, thrombosis, embolism, as well as neck and head injuries. Diagnosis of VBI includes a neurological examination, as well as additional research methods, including MRI, CT, angiography, etc.

Treatment for VBI may include medication, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and surgery. Depending on the cause of the disease, various treatment methods may be used.

In general, vertebrobasilar insufficiency is a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment. If symptoms associated with impaired blood supply to the brain appear, you should seek medical help and follow your doctor's instructions. Vertebrobasilar insufficiency can be successfully treated if treatment is started on time and all doctor's recommendations are followed.

Vertebro-basilar insufficiency (VBI) VBI is a type of circulatory insufficiency of the base of the brain (VBI). By definition, VBI occurs due to dysfunction of the vertebral artery, which supplies the pons, cerebellum, and posterior medulla oblongata. The temporobasilar circulation, which passes through the internal carotid artery, originates from aneurysms, tumors of the bones and spinal canal, or sclerotic stenoses that aggravate VBI. VBI can also be caused by insufficient blood flow caused by air embolism, cardiovascular diseases such as heart strokes, upper respiratory ear infections, thyroid disease, pituitary adenoma, or diabetes; metabolic disorders, cardiac arrhythmias or viral thrombosis.

Causes of VBI Abnormalities in arterial hemodynamics lead to decreased blood flow and cerebral ischemia, which leads to cognitive changes and other symptoms. When VBI is accompanied by a disorder of the nervous system, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting occur. Difficulty in movement is sometimes caused by difficulty walking, loss of balance, or even partial loss of consciousness. These
