[Structural alterations in the human brain in acute alcohol intoxication]
Abstract:
Various regions of the brain were studied in 14 patients who suddenly died and in 20 patients who died from ethanol intoxication. Severe circulatory disorders with pronounced vascular pathology, blood diseases, degenerative and necrotic neurocytic changes were shown to develop in ethanol intoxication. The area of neurocytes in the hemispheric cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum reduced due to the death of some of them. In the medulla, they were found to be more resistant to ethanol. The diameter of capillaries in the studied regions of the brain decreased due to the fall in cerebral arterial tonicity, the number of these vessels on the standard area increased, which is due to the compensatory dilatation of reserve capillaries.
