Posterior circulation ischemic vertigo, Pathogenesis, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, Current status of treatmentAbstract
Posterior circulation ischemic vertigo refers to dizziness induced by ischemia of the vertebral basilar artery caused by a variety of factors. In Chinese medicine, this disease is categorized as “vertigo”. In recent years, with the development of medical imaging and its wide application in clinical practice, the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, treatment status and care of posterior circulation ischemic dizziness have been studied in greater depth. Therefore, this study discusses the research situation in recent years, such as the pathogenesis and treatment of posterior circulation ischemic vertigo in Western medicine, as well as the typing and identification of symptoms and treatment of posterior circulation ischemic vertigo in traditional Chinese medicine. The pathogenesis of posterior circulation ischemic vertigo and the current status of clinical treatment in Chinese and Western medicine will be further analyzed in order to provide reference and basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of posterior circulation ischemic vertigo.
