Atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain

Description:

Atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain - the most widespread disease of a brain affecting vessels of muscular and elastic type with formation of the single or multiple centers lipidic, mainly cholesteric, deposits - atheromatous plaques - in an internal cover of vessels of a brain. The subsequent growth in it connecting fabric (sclerosis) and calcification of a vascular wall is led to slowly progressing deformations and narrowing of its gleam up to a full zapustevaniye (obliteration) of a vessel and by that cause the chronic, slowly increasing insufficiency of blood supply of the body fed through the struck brain vessel.

Atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain occurs at persons 20 years are more senior, but with the largest frequency at men at the age of 50-60 years and at women 60 years are more senior.

Symptoms of Atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain:

Insufficient blood supply of a brain with the delay of a blood-groove, bent to stagnation which are slowed down by reactions of expansion and narrowing to external and internal irritations conducts to the fact that the patient with atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain begins to feel headaches – stupid amplifying at exhaustion and eventually gaining almost constant character. Noise and a ring in the head, dizzinesses with a poshatyvaniye are frequent at a sharp postural change of a body and when walking, face reddening with his perspiration or with its blanching, sometimes – "the flying front sights" before eyes. At a long conversation (the report, a performance, etc.) emergence of "spotykaniye" on syllables is possible.
As a rule, the sleep is interrupted – it becomes discontinuous, with sudden awakenings, serdtsebiyeniye and fears, is frequent with unpleasant dreams, backfillings in operating time are noted in the afternoon.
One of the first symptoms of brain atherosclerosis – decrease in mental activity, easing of attention, inability to quickly catch essential. Disturbance of memory on recent events is a typical sign at safety on long ago passed. At the same time it is important to note that mechanical storing, than logical semantic memory is more broken. Along with easing of mental activity emotional instability in the form of tearfulness, suspiciousnesses, uneasiness, irritability, fault-finding, peevishness is typical. Mental "jamming" – slow eradication of the slightest failures, tendency to depressive reactions is characteristic.
At inspection of patients with brain atherosclerosis also a number of objective disturbances is found. First of all coordination of movements is broken. There is unstable a gait, the poshatyvaniye in a standing position appears, there are indistinct thin manipulations with hands. Rate of movements is slowed down, trembling of the head, chin, one or both hands can appear. The nystagmus is sometimes noted. Pupils can change the form, to become uneven, their photoharmose – sluggish. Asymmetry of the person is frequent – one corner of a mouth costs below another, language at protrusion deviates aside. Even with a normal arterial pressure the pulsation of vessels on a neck becomes visible, temporal arteries – gyrose, the pulsation in arteries can weaken. When pressing on an artery their morbidity is noted. At a research of an eyeground narrowing of arteries and crimpiness of veins are found.
Level of cholesterol of blood is increased (more than 250 mg in 100 ml). On a x-ray film of a skull calcification of the internal sleepy and main arteries feeding a brain quite often comes to light.

Reasons of Atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain:

The pathogeny is difficult and not quite deciphered. Pathological features of metabolism and transport of fats and zhirobelkovy complexes, on the one hand, and disturbances of functional and structural safety of an internal cover of arteries - with another play a role. Predisposition to atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain often is hereditarily caused; implementation of a disease is promoted by risk factors: the repeating psychoemotional tension which "turns on" the neurohumoral mechanisms influencing a condition of a wall of vessels; arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia of various genesis; alimentary obesity; reduced physical activity; smoking.

Treatment of Atherosclerosis of vessels of a brain:

At establishment the diagnozalecheniye has to be complex and it is desirable under observation of the same neuropathologist. Preservation of active lifestyle is necessary: morning exercises, the pool and big tennis all the year round, skis, foot and bicycle walks, 35-40 minutes before going to bed are obligatory to walk in the evening. The diet has to be poor in carbohydrates and is rich with animal protein and vegetable fats (vegetable oil, boiled meat, a game, ocean fish).

From medicines are preferable preventive administration of drugs of niacin, aspirin in small doses, a lipostabila, lipocerebrinum. From physiotherapy - an electrosleep, bathtubs with carbon dioxide. All this is carried out under strict control and only on doctor's orders.
