[Dementia and small vessel diseases of the brain].
Clinical and pathogenetic characteristics of dementia caused by small vessel lesions are presented. It is emphasized that this variant of vascular dementia is the most frequent in clinical practice. Clinical examination, accurate assessment of the disease history and using of modern neuroimaging techniques are important for the diagnosis. The drugs that impact on risk factors, including disaggregants, and metabolic drugs (nicergoline) are widely used in the treatment of dementia. These drugs are highly effective and safe.
