Abstract:
We retrospectively studied the anamnesis, in particular the etiology, the clinical picture, and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound data, in the dynamics of a heterogeneous group of 127 patients with neurological and psychiatric pathological conditions. We were interested in the reasons for the occurrence, the clinical value of various neuroimaging abnormalities in the white matter of the brain, including the periventricular zone, the communication of their occurrence with the possible exit of CSF outside of the limits of the ventricular system. In some of the patients investigations into the cerebral blood flow in dynamics using transcranial Doppler was studied. Also in this regard, indications for and the application of minimally invasive neurosurgery techniques for brain revascularization were investigated.
