[Clinical and pathogenetical peculiarities and treatment policy in ischemic stroke of elderly and old age].
The data on randomized study of 2 groups of patients with ischemic brain hemisphere stroke of elderly and old (over 70 years) as well as middle (under 60 years) age are presented. In elderly and old age, stroke develops on the basis of common affection of major vessels, with a great role of the "steal syndrome" in its pathogenesis. In authors' opinion, in treatment of ischemic stroke of elderly and old age attention should be paid to metabolic therapy, in particular to using high dosages of Cerebrolysin. Basing on clinical and paraclinical study, efficacy of this medication is revealed.
