[Clinical, structural-functional and haemodynamic correlates of cerebral venous blood circulation disturbances].
Difficulties of liquor circulation as a result of cerebrospinal fluid absorption and venous drainage of the entire intracranial space, in particular in the presence of venous system abnormalities in the forms of hypoplasia or aplasia of venous sinuses, play an essentiale role in cerebral venous dyscirculation. The symmetric character of hydrocephaly in chronic insufficiency of cerebral blood circulation and strong dependence of chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency on passive congestion suggest that the latter is characteristic of the blood supply system in whole. The MPI analysis of 120 patients revealed signs of cerebral ischemic lesions in 72% of cases, i.e. dilatation of liquor-containing spaces, multiple lacunar infarctions, especially in deep brain regions, diffusive changes of the periventricular white matter etc. Low indices of the blood flow increase during antiorthostatic loading, a trend towards decreasing of PI parameters and difficulty of blood flow in conditional insonation of intracranial veins in cases of "pseudotumorous syndrome" in patients with clinical signs of passive congestion. Venous dilatation of convexital brain areas and intensification of contrasting of direct sinus and vein of Galen were observed in venous infarctions.
