Abstract

Cerebrovascular diseases are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease among adults. Generalized atherosclerosis is the most frequent basis for vascular lesions of the brain, leading to the development of acute and chronic disorders of cerebral circulation. Polymorphism of clinical symptoms caused not only by lesions of the brachio-cephalic arteries, but also by simultaneous involvement in the variable-degree atherosclerotic rocess of other vessels, is often responsible for diagnostic difficulties. In the paper, a number of case reports describing patients with advanced atherosclerotic lesions of different vascular systems and marked variability of clinical manifestations are presented. Discussed are questions of rational diagnosis and general approaches to treatment of atherosclerosis, as well as questions of asymptomatic brachio-cephalic stenosis, “silent” brain infarcts and risk factors for atherosclerosis.
