title: [Cerebrovascular disorders in alcoholics (clinico-morphologic study)].
abstract: Under examination there were alcoholics aged 25 to 45 years, 44 of whom later died. At lifetime the addicts showed various clinical syndromes of acute vascular disorders, such as, hemorrhages to the brain matter, subarachnoidal hemorrhages, subdural hematomas, general disturbances of the cerebral circulation, as well as alcoholic cardiopathies. On postmortem examination both acute and chronic vascular disorders were revealed. The acute disorders manifested themselves in a pronounced plethora of the brain, the meninges and the internal organs; disturbances of the vascular wall permeability, and hemorrhages (large and small) to the brain, the subarachnoidal and subdural space and to the internal organs. In chronic vascular disorders, cerebrovascular fibrosis and atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels, the aorta and the coronary arteries as well as residua of large and small hemorrhages sustained were recorded.
