Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020
Abstract
Mental and neurological disorders due to cerebrovascular changes are quite frequent, but are very rarely analyzed in connection with morphological changes in blood vessels.
To analyze correlation between clinical symptoms and histological changes of human a.basilaris.
We retrospectively studied relation between histological changes of a.basilaris and psychoneurological state in 10 cases of 40-70 years old patients, who died by accident.
Analyzing retrospectively case histories we found such symptoms in psychical neurological state: basilar syndrome, emotional lability, rapid changes of mood, asthenia. 6 patients were diagnosed basilar syndrome by neurologists, 4 patients were diagnosed symptoms of F 06 group (according to ICD-10). Histological changes in a.basilaris were reduced amount of elastic fibre in blood-vessel media, increased quantity of collagen fibre and widening of intima.
Most frequent symptoms correlating with a.basilaris structural changes were basilar syndrome and organic mood, anxiety disorders.
