Brain infarction Stroke is acute disorders of cerebral circulation, rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other then that of vascular origin According to World Health Organization classification all cerebrovascular diseases are divided into 3 groups: 1. Premonitary and initial symptoms of brain blood supply insufficiency 2. Acute cerebral blood circulation disturbances a) Dynamic cerebral blood circulation disturbances • Hypertonic crisis • Acute hypertonic encephalopathy b) Strokes: Haemorrhage • subdural, epidural • intracerebral haemorrhage • ventricular hemorrage Ischemic • Brain infarction (nonembolic) • Brain infarction (embolic) • Brain infarction (thrombotic) According to World Health Organization classification all cerebrovascular diseases are divided into 3 groups: 3. Dyscirculative encephalopathy or chronic cerebral blood circulation insufficiency or slowly progressive insufficiency of cerebral blood circulation • I st • II st • III st • Dyscirculative myelopathy or chronic spinal blood circulation insufficiency Brain infarction Classification • • • • • Athetothrombotic Cardioembolic Hemodynamic Lacunar Haemorhoeological Lacunar stroke Penumbra Center of infarction Penumbra Penumbra Brain tissue, which we can save Благодаря любезности J.

Microvascular embolism Clinical features Acute period of brain infarction is divided into three stages: • Precursors • Apoplectic stroke • Focal signs Clinical features • Precursors - transient ischemic attacks in the same region where brain infarction is developed. Gradually during several hours focal neurologic symptoms are developed. • The prevalence of focal symptoms over the general cerebral ones. • General cerebral symptoms manifest as - Headache - Vomiting - consciousness disorders Focal symptoms depend on localization of the infarction, damaged vessel and state of collateral blood circulation.

Diagnostics of Brain Infarction The main peculiarities are: • Before stroke period in the previous history ( TIA in anamnesis ) • The beginning of the stroke is gradual • Data of somatic and neurological status • Additional methods of diagnostics Diagnostics of Brain Infarction The main peculiarities are: • Before stroke period in the previous history ( TIA in anamnesis ) • The beginning of the stroke is gradual • Data of somatic and neurological status • Additional methods of diagnostics Diagnostics of Brain Infarction • • • • Rheologic disturbances Liquor is pellucid, without significant changes. EEG - There is focus of pathologic activity USG finds out occlusion, stenosis of carotid and vertebral arteries • CT reveals hypodensive focus on the second day • MRI helps to find out small focuses and those, located in the brain stem Stenosis of internal carotid artery • 1- PCA, 2- ICA, 3- syphone of ICA, 5- CCA.

Atlas of Atherothrombosis.- 2005 Strokes treatment Nondifferential treatment includes: • Prevention and treatment of pulmonary insufficiency • Liquidation of heart – vascular disorders • Brain edema treatment • Normalization of water – electrolytes balance and acid – alkali balance • Osmosis correction • Improving of brain metabolism • Liquidation of hyperthermia and other autonomic disorders Differential treatment of brain infarction • To renew blood circulation in zone of ischemia • To correct rheologic and coagulative properties of blood, to improve microcirculation • To prevent disorders of cerebral metabolism • To decrease brain edema • To treat brain hypoxia To renew blood circulation in zone of ischemia – – • • Actilaza 100 mg I / v by drops every 2 – 3 hours. Inhibitors of glutamat excretion ( difenin, nimotop, MgSO4) are used. Nimotop is used 15 mg in 1500 ml of physiologic solution i/v by drops, or in tablets 30 – 60 mg 4 times per day. In order to improve perfusion we use cavinton 20 mg I /v by drops At hyperperfussion we use • euphyllini 10 ml 2.4 % solution, • penthoxiphyllini, • diuretics ( manitol 15 % 100 – 200 ml ) , • albumini 100 ml I / v. To improve microcirculation anticoagulative therapy : • heparini 5 000 U 4 times per day during 5 – 7 days, the 2 500 U during next 3 –4 days. • Fraxiparini is considered to be even more effective . Antiagregants are used also : • penthoxiphyllini 5 – 10 ml 2 % solution I /v by drops during 10 days, then 200 mg 3 –4 times per day up to 1 month. • Sermioni 4 mg I / v by drops during 10 days , then 1 tablet 3 times per day up to 1 month. • Ticlid 250 mg twice a day. • Aspirini 250 mg once a day. • Dipiridamoli 1 – 2 ml i/v by drops during 10 days , then 25 mg 2 –3 times per day.
