Нейропсихологический статус у пациентов с преходящими нарушениями мозгового кровообращения

Aim: to detect cognitive impairments (CI) in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral hypertensive crisis (CHC) and their influence on the prognosis of ischemic stroke. Material and methods. 21 TIA patients, 13 CHC patients, 11 patients with lacunar stroke (LS), and 5 volunteers were examined. The TIA and CHC patients were performed neuropsychological tests on the 2nd and 10th days of admission. The LI patients and volunteers were tested once. Results. On the 2nd day the TIA and CHC patients revealed cognitive impairments represented by impaired visual gnosis, short-term visual memory loss, and semantic aphasia. Conclusion. Cognitive impairments in TIA and CHC have the same direction with those in LS. The estimation of short-term memory for visual images has the greatest prognostic value in relation to ischemic stroke.
