Clinical and imaging features of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia combined with posterior circulation infarction: A retrospective case series study.

This study aims to analyze the clinical and imaging features of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) combined with posterior circulation infarction, and to explore risk factors for the occurrence of posterior circulation infarction in VBD patients.VBD patients were divided into 2 groups, according to the results of the imaging examination: posterior circulation infarction group and nonposterior circulation infarction group. The demographics, vascular risk factors, imaging, and other clinical data of the VBD patients were collected and retrospectively compared, and the risk factors for the occurrence of posterior circulation infarction in VBD patients were analyzed.
