Clinical-Neurological and Hemodynamic Characteristics of Acute and Chronic Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency

Abstract

One of the most common forms of cerebrovascular disorders is vertebral–basilar insufficiency (VB), considered as reversible ischemia of brain structures supplied with blood from the vessels of the vertebrae and the main arteries. Considering IBD in the framework of one of the syndromes of cerebrovascular pathology, it should be remembered that the management tactics of such patients, taking into account the risk of disease progression, should comply with the principles of treatment and secondary prevention of vascular lesions of the brain. It should be noted that there is currently no convincing evidence that the directions of drug treatment of patients with symptomatic lesions of the carotid and vertebral-basilar systems may be different.
