Somatoform autonomous dysfunction as predictor of chronic cerebral ischemia
The clinical, neurophysiological, psychological characteristics of chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) in patients with somatoform autonomic dysfunction (SAD) have been studied during medical checkups of decreed contingents in Petrozavodsk city (working group - military patients (n = 108), control group - healthy volunteers (n = 35)). SAD plays a leading role in the genesis of debut stages of CCI in the employable patients (35,2 %). Labile cerebrostenic syndrome; gipersinhronny type of electroencephalography; hypokinetic central circulation; tendency for bilateral reduction of linear velocity of blood flows in the anterior and middle cerebral arteries; angiodistonic type of cerebral hemodynamics; dystonic retinal angiopathy; mild suprasegmental vegetative disorders (mainly vagotonic) (p < 0,05) are pathognomonic for persons with CCI because of SAD.
