COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS IN THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF VASCULAR DEMENTIA OF STENOSIS OF THE MAIN ARTERIES OF THE HEAD.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of diagnosing cognitive
impairment in patients with chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency (CCVI) II-III stage.
with vascular dementia using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA test) and
Khachinsky Ischemic Scale. The study involved 60 patients (32 men and 28 women) aged
45 to 70 years (mean age 61.6±5.3 years) divided into 2 groups: Group 1 main group CCVI
(II-III stage) 30 patients with vascular dementia and 30 patients with CCVI (II-III stage)
without cognitive impairment. Based on a study of patients, it was found that differences
in duplex scanning of neck vessels and topography of morphological cerebral changes in
patients with various types of onset of vascular dementia with cognitive and neuropsychological
states of patients, and shows the importance of early diagnosis of vascular dementia.
