ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The circle of Willis is an important collateral system that maintains perfusion to the stenotic area from the contralateral carotid and basilar artery to the region of reduced brain perfusion. The aim of the present study was to compare the circle of Willis anomaly in patients with unilateral symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery disease. Results In this retrospective study, we analyzed 175 patients who presented at our outpatient stroke clinic between January, 2013 and June, 2015 with either unilateral symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery disease, and who had had CT angiography imaging performed. Demographic properties, carotid artery stenosis and the anomaly of the circle of Willis was recorded. Conclusion There was no statistically significant difference in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery disease in terms of the anomaly of the circle of Willis.
RESUMO
RESUMO O Círculo de Willis é um importante sistema colateral que mantém a perfusão à área estenótica da carótida contralateral e da artéria basilar para a região de perfusão cerebral reduzida. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a anomalia do Círculo de Willis em pacientes com doença carotídea assintomática e sintomática unilateral. Resultados Neste estudo retrospectivo, foram analisados 175 pacientes que foram à nossa clínica ambulatorial de AVC, entre janeiro de 2013 e junho de 2015, com doença carotídea assintomática ou sintomática unilateral, e que fizeram angiografia por tomografia computadorizada. Propriedades demográficas, estenose da artéria carótida e anomalia do Círculo de Willis foram registradas. Conclusão Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa em pacientes com doença carotídea sintomática e assintomática em termos de anomalia do Círculo de Willis.
