青少年颈椎钩突-横突孔间距的增龄变化及临床意义

目的通过对6~20岁青少年颈椎钩突的影像学扫描和三维重建,探讨钩突-横突孔间距的发育规律和增龄特征,为青少年颈椎病的诊治和预防提供影像解剖学依据。方法选取无外伤、神经症状和体征的青少年66例,行多排螺旋CT薄层扫描(0.625~1.25 mm),范围C1~T1,将原始数据以DICOM格式导入三维重建软件进行相关指标测量,并按性别、年龄分组进行统计分析。结果颈椎钩突-横突孔间距在性别与侧别间均无显著性差异,发育总体随着年龄和椎序的增长呈递增趋势,且存在显著统计学差异。结论颈椎钩突-横突孔间距与椎动脉型、神经根型等颈椎病的发病率有着密切相关。

Clinical significance and change with age of cervical vertebral uncinate process and transverse process of teenagers

Objective To explore the uncinate-transverse hole spacing developmental patterns and aging characteristics by means of studying the teenagers aging from 6-20 years old,and provide the basis for image analysis of the treatment and prevention of cervical spondy-losis. Method the 66 adolescents without trauma nor problems of nervous system were selected to do thin spiral CT scan（0. 625 -1. 25 mm） ,the range was C1 -T1 . The original data in the form of DICOM are analyzed according to gender and age. Results There was no sig-nificant difference in gender and different sides. Overall,the physical development of human increases gradually with age and has some signifi-cant differences. Conclusion There exists a close relationship between cervical hook-transverse process and the incidence of vertebral artery type and nerve root type cervical spondylosis.
