[Clinical and pathogenetic characteristics of the craniocerebral trauma received by elderly patients after stroke]
Abstract:
In 174 patients of elderly and senile age features of a clinical picture and pathogenesis of a craniocerebral trauma of a different severity occurred in different terms after the previous stroke and in different circumstances have been studied. The mutual relations of traumatic and vascular processes are complex, the vascular pathogenetic features of a trauma influence actively to the brain, earlier damaged by an ischemic stroke, increasing the probability of the heavy form of a combined cerebral pathology and the unfavourable forecast. However the vascular encephalopathy in these conditions "does not develop" in posttraumatic one and chronic vascular-brain frustration absolutely prevail in all cases above traumatic ones. This fact is to be taken into consideration to further treatment and rehabilitation.
