[Cognitive brain function disorders in patients with leukoaraiosis confirmed by computed tomography].
118 patients with leukoaraiosis confirmed by CT were neuropsychologically examined. 68 persons were excluded because of occurrence of other changes in CT scans. The study concerns the group of 29 women (58%) and 21 men (42%) in age 44-89 (middle 72 +/- 9.9). The most frequent were fronto-subcortical and frontal syndromes (25 cases). Predominance of parieto-occipital syndrome was confirmed in 2 cases; 9 patients presented both frontal and parieto-occipital syndromes. In 11 cases only single dysfunction were founded, and 3 persons presented normal state of cognitive functions. There was no distinct correlation between degree of leukoaraiosis and character of neuropsychological disturbances.
