Introduction: The problem of early diagnostics of cerebral circulation pathology in children, who are exposed to industrial toxicants, is not well-studied. Objective: The study was designed to assess the features of impaired cerebral circulation in children, when exposed to environmental formaldehyde, phenol, cresol and methanol. Method: A total of 120 children (6 to 10 years of age) who lived ...

The aim of this report is to describe the intracranial cerebrovascular abnormalities and clinical status of 8 children who had familial lipoprotein disorders and evidence of thromboembolic cerebrovascular disease. Six of the 8 children had low levels of plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol, two had high triglyceride levels, and all came from kindreds characterized by familial lipoprotein...

Pharmacological treatment of cerebrovascular disorders was introduced at the beginning of the 20th Century. Since then, a multitude of studies have focused on the development of a consensus for a well defined taxonomy of these disorders and on the identification of specific patterns of cognitive deficits associated with them, but with no clear consensus. Nevertheless, citicoline has proved to b...

The year 2004 in interventional neuroradiology has been distinguished by the steady accumulation of evidence to validate the efficacy of therapeutic procedures, such as carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) for cerebrovascular atherosclerosis. There is increasing momentum to design trials that will validate the role of endovascular therapy in the treatment of acute stroke and other cerebrovasc...

We report the case of a patient who presented various psychiatric syndromes at the time of evaluation – partial complex epileptic seizures, personality change, and severe depression, which eventually progressed to dementia – resulting from multiple cerebral infarctions of probable neuro-angiopathic origin, of unknown etiology. Aspects related to depression following cerebrovascular accidents, a...
