Pathophysiology of brain ischaemia
1Laboratoire de Neuropathologie, UCL Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Bruxelles.
The main data concerning the pathophysiology of cerebral ischaemia are reviewed and subdivided into five chapters: elementary cellular changes, elementary circulatory disturbances, pathology at the cellular and tissular levels, causes of ischaemia, and topography of ischaemic brain lesions. Local, regional and general factors are discussed and the prominent role played by the haemodynamic factors is emphasized.
