[Abstract] Vertigo is a common symptom in the department of neurology.The causes of vertigo are numerous and complex.Distinguish central and peripheral damages in time is the key to diagnose and treat vertigo.Isolated vertigo is characterized by paroxysmal or persistent vertigo,which may be accompanied by autonomic neurological dysfunction,but has no symptoms and signs of focal neurological deficit.In recent years,clinical researchers have found that isolated vertigo can be the only manifestation of posterior circulation ischemia,which is difficult to be diagnosed clinically.However,early identification of central vertigo is very important for clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.In this paper,the mechanism and related risk factors of posterior circulation ischemic isolated vertigo are reviewed.It is hoped to improve the identification rate of posterior circulation ischemic isolated vertigo.

眩晕是一种造成人与周围环境的空间关系在大脑皮质中反应失真,产生旋转、倾倒、起伏等感觉的运动性或者位置性的错觉,是神经内科最常见的症状之一。导致眩晕的病因繁多复杂[1],依据病变部位和不同的临床表现分为周围性眩晕和中枢性眩晕,临床上早期识别中枢性和周围性的病因是诊断与治疗眩晕及影响其临床预后的关键。目前临床上有多个研究报道发现中枢性眩晕可表现为单一的眩晕症状而无神经系统受损的相关症状及体征[1-3],早期与周围性眩晕难以区分,这类眩晕被称为孤立性眩晕。孤立性眩晕是指患者表现为发作性或持续性眩晕,可伴有恶心呕吐、多汗、心慌等自主神经功能紊乱症状,但是缺乏局灶性神经系统功能缺损的症状及体征如肢体的麻木、乏力、面部麻木、言语障碍等以及听力受损等[5-6]。由于孤立性眩晕临床表现不典型,病因隐匿,早期与周围性眩晕鉴别困难,目前在临床上越来越引起临床医师的重视[7-8]。本文通过学习近年来相关文献,对后循环缺血性孤立性眩晕的发生机制及其相关危险因素进行综述,希望为提高临床工作中眩晕患者中枢性眩晕的诊断率以及为及时有效地治疗、改善患者临床预后提供一些帮助。
1 后循环缺血性孤立性眩晕
近年来有关孤立性眩晕为后循环缺血唯一表现的病例报道越来越多[9-13],也有临床研究报道后循环小梗死灶早期头部磁共振弥散加权成像阴性[14],临床上易漏诊及误诊,此类眩晕为后循环缺血性孤立性眩晕,诊断标准为:后循环缺血相关的眩晕,但是缺乏小脑、脑干和大脑后部等部位受损的症状和体征,同时排除其他类型眩晕如耳源性、偏头痛性等眩晕[15]。后循环缺血患者中一部分临床预后不良,大面积后循环梗死可导致呼吸循环衰竭,甚至危及生命,需紧急治疗与处理,而早期后循环缺血性孤立性眩晕如果在时间窗内早期识别可以及时予以静脉溶栓及血管介入治疗,改善患者临床预后。后循环缺血常伴有眩晕,由于可能出现不良的临床预后,这种眩晕在临床上常常被称为恶性眩晕[15]。如果后循环缺血性孤立性眩晕的患者在发病早期能及时鉴别出病因并积极予以药物治疗或血管内治疗可有效的防止后循环短暂性脑缺血发作进展为后循环梗死或防止已发生的较轻卒中进展,将最大程度改善患者的预后,因此对孤立性眩晕进行合理的评估和及时诊治意义重大。
