title: [The autonomic dystonia syndrome in pathological climacteric in women and cerebrovascular insufficiency].
abstract: The authors analyze some pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the relationships between the vegetative dystonia syndrome running in the presence of the climacteric syndrome, on the one hand, and cerebrovascular insufficiency, on the other. A total of 82 women were examined, 62 of these with the climacteric syndrome and 20 with the normal climacteric (reference group). Among women with the climacteric syndrome patients with signs of cerebrovascular insufficiency (initial signs of cerebral circulation insufficiency and Stage I dyscirculatory encephalopathy) predominated. The severity of cerebrovascular insufficiency was higher in patients with the climacteric syndrome. The sympathetic tone of the autonomic nervous system clearly prevailed in the test group, and signs of inadequate autonomic supply were present. Electropolygraphic registration of the function of the nonspecific systems of the brain has shown marked signs of increased level of the ascending nonspecific activation of the brain in the main group as against the reference one. Basing on these findings, the authors analyze the specific features of the psychovegetative syndrome, conducive to the development of cerebrovascular dystonia in women with the pathologic course of the climacteric.
