[Role of deficient cerebral circulation in selecting the treatment methods for patients with circulatory encephalopathy].

The results of studying the pathophysiologic mechanisms of the impairement in cerebral circulation in 244 patients with atherosclerotic discirculatory encephalopathy with the use of the ultrasound and radiopaque investigation, electroencephalography and computed tomography of the brain are presented. The prevalent role of vascular damage of the brachiocephalic trunk in the genesis of the different stages of atherosclerotic discirculatory encephalopathy is noted. The influence of arterio-venous cerebral hemodynamics on the development and progressing of discirculatory encephalopathy was established. The topographic correlations of the basin of the arteries affected and neurologic and morphologic signs of discirculatory encephalopathy were revealed.
