| Objective:To examine diabetic vascular disease characteristics in the head and neck by means of CTA.Methods:We collect 176 patients that had CTA of the head and neck vessels,111 cases of male and 65 female, mean age 59.98±1.75 years.The patients were divided into diabetic group and nondiabetic group. Diabetic group was further divided into diabetic patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia group, diabetic patients with hypertension group, diabetes with dyslipidemia group. Non-diabetic group was divided into hypertension group, dyslipidemia group, hypertension with dyslipidemia group.The CTA results of head and neck vessels were rated for all patients.The plaque score,head and neck large vessel stenosis score and intracranial artery stenosis points in diabetic patients were compared with that of non-diabetic patients. Data processing design with factorial analysis of variance, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:There are 23 cases in the group of diabetic patients with hypertension,10 cases of them are male and 13 female, mean age 62.22±2.19 years.Group of diabetic patients with dyslipidemia are 22 patients, male 16, female 6 cases, mean age 59.32 12.24 years.41 cases are diabetic patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia,25 of them male and 16 female, mean age 61.42±1.64 years. There are 36 patients in the group with hypertension and dyslipidemia,25 males and 11 females, mean age 59.83±1.75 years.25 are hypertension patients,15 cases of them are male and 10 female, mean age 59.00±2.10 years. Dyslipidemia group are 22 patients, male 16, female 6 cases, mean age 56.73±2.24 years.2 cases are diabetic patients,1 case of men, aged 66 years and 1 female, age 53 years.5 cases are without diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia,3 are male and 2 females, mean age 62.38±3.71 years. Plaque score in patients with diabetes is significantly higher than that of non-diabetic patients. There is no correlation between the factors and the degree of head and neck large vessel stenosis. Intracranial artery stenosis points in diabetic patients is significantly higher than that of non-diabetic patients.Conclusion: 1 The head and neck large blood vessels in diabetic patients fill with multiple unstable plaques.2. The incidence of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with diabetes is high. |
