[Acute cerebrovascular disorders during surgical operations on abdominal organs]

Acute cerebrovascular disorders were found in 4.78% of the patients operated on for acute abdominal diseases. Such disorders were revealed during the first 3 days of the postoperative period in 86.9% and appeared as transitory ischemic attacks (21.9%), acute hypertensive encephalopathy (12.4%), ischemic stroke with reversible neurological deficit (27.6%), ischemic stroke with stable neurological deficit (20%), hemorrhagic stroke (2.9%), mixed stroke (2.9%). The pathogenesis of vascular disorder in examined cases included systemic and cerebral hemodynamic disorders, acid-alkaline imbalance, impaired blood gas composition and biochemical and physicochemical blood properties, altered cranial great arteries, cerebrovascular emboli, endogenous intoxication and age-related changes. In the first 24 postoperative hours, actovegin and instenon therapy accelerated neurological deficit regression and recovered cerebral hemodynamics in postoperative strokes.
