Sažetak
Vertebrobasilar syndrome is a complex entity caused by insufficient perfusion in the brain, cerebral parts supplied by vertebrobasilar arterial circulatory system. In the etiology of this disorder the most important role play: arteriosclerosis, embolic incidents and compressive effects of cervical spondylosis, while the role of traumatic factors has not yet been studied thoroughly. The authors have tested vertebrobasilar circulation in boxers in order to determine whether the repeated craniocervical trauma has influence on vertebrobasilar hemodynamics. The study included 45 amateur boxers representing an age &#8211 ; ; rage of 18 to 30 years, with unequal number of matches, knock down punches (KD) and knockouts (KO). It included a control group of 15 persons of corresponding age, not engaged in boxing. The analysis of vertebrobasilar circulation was carried out by means of trancranial Doppler sonography. Hemodynamic changes with decrease in flow velocity were found in the vertebral arteries and the basilar artery. The decrease in flow in both vertebral arteries was found in 33, 3% of the boxers with 100 matches, while the decrease in flow in all three vessels was found in 13, 3% of the boxers with more than 100 mathches. Concerning the number of injuries suffered, the decrease in flow in two vessels was found in 59, 9% of the boxers with more than 10 KD's undergone or more than 1 KO, while the decrease in flow in all three vessels was found in 13, 3% of the bowers. The differences are statistically significant in relation to control group (p<0.05). The obtained results show the connection between the repeated blunt traumas of the head and the neck and the decrease in the velocity of the flow in the arteries of vertebrobasilar circulatory system, which indicates that there is the possibility of post-traumatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency. The mechanisms causing this disorder have not been clear so far.
