[Morphologic basis of psychoses associated with vascular and senile pathology].

The paper deals with a study of 100 patients diagnosed as combined senile and vascular psychoses. It is marked that in classical cases of such combinations the disorder has 3 stages. On the first stage there is a predominance of vascular pathology. After 60 years of age (the second stage) the senile sumptomatology disguises many symptoms of vascular lesions. The third stage is characterized by a vascular catastrophe. In many cases of combined psychoses there may be complications of other somatic pathology and mainly of lung and liver disorders.
