Dyscirculatory encephalopathy isprogressing cerebral circulatory insufficiency, which is caused by a violation of its basic functions. Discirculatory encephalopathy is a chronic progressive disease, one of the forms of cerebrovascular pathology. The disease is often found in the elderly, it is based on diffuse or multifocal brain damage, which manifests itself in the form of neuropsychological or neurological disorders and circulatory disorders. Discirculatory encephalopathy of the 2nd degree is characterized by constant changes in the brain, which are often justified by repeated ischemia in different vascular pools. Ischemic episodes, depending on the size of the affected area, may be hidden or manifest as a persistent or transient focal symptomatology.
Discirculatory encephalopathy of the 2nd degree. Symptoms
At the first stage of the disease, clinical symptomsmanifest themselves on the principle of neurasthenia, subsequently begins to progress the neuropsychiatric defect, accompanied by a disorder of memory, drives, motivations, emotions. Patients often note absent-mindedness, rapid fatigue, memory loss. Headache, fatigue, as well as some objective signs of organic brain damage that can be detected in a special study is a sign that progressive, discirculatory encephalopathy of the 2nd degree comes. Treatment at this stage should begin immediately. It is noteworthy that at this stage the patient's assessment of his working capacity does not coincide with the assessment of his co-workers. Asthenic syndrome may well regress if the situation changes at home or at work and during long rest. Treatment of this disease depends on the location of the foci and the severity of the disease.
Discirculatory encephalopathy of the 2nd degree. Treatment.
At the heart of the treatment of dyscirculatory encephalopathylies antihypertensive therapy, designed to slow the progression of the disease and prevent the development of complications. As a treatment for this complex disease, antiplatelet agents, nootropic and vasoactive drugs are most often used. Mandatory appointments are:
Discirculatory encephalopathy of 2nd degree(treatment, which must necessarily include therapy that improves the process of vascular metabolism) often gives relapses. To avoid them, most often used is cynarizine, vinpocetine, metamax, actovegin. Often, such treatment is added physiotherapy, reflexology, balneotherapy. With a rapid increase in cognitive impairment and neurological deficits, the patient is shown surgical treatment.
Discirculatory encephalopathy of the 2nd degree. Treatment and diagnostics.
For dyscirculatory encephalopathy 2 degreestypical latent little symptoms, which subsequently begin to predominate in clinical symptoms with the prevalence of a neuropsychiatric defect. At this point, the patient may show a lack of critical attitude towards himself and his behavior, as well as a reappraisal of his actions and the state of working capacity. Dyscirculatory encephalopathy of grade 3 may already have pronounced symptoms of increasing dementia, parkinsonism, ataxia. At the outset, a neuropsychological defect can be detected with a special study, but with a progressive disease the patient has to change jobs, change living conditions and think about the disability group.
