Mental and neurological disorders due to cerebrovascular changes are quite frequent, but are very rarely analyzed in connection with morphological changes in blood vessels.

Objective:

To analyze correlation between clinical symptoms and histological changes of human a.basilaris.

Methods:

We retrospectively studied relation between histological changes of a.basilaris and psychoneurological state in 10 cases of 40-70 years old patients, who died by accident.

Results:

Analyzing retrospectively case histories we found such symptoms in psychical neurological state: basilar syndrome, emotional lability, rapid changes of mood, asthenia. 6 patients were diagnosed basilar syndrome by neurologists, 4 patients were diagnosed symptoms of F 06 group (according to ICD-10). Histological changes in a.basilaris were reduced amount of elastic fibre in blood-vessel media, increased quantity of collagen fibre and widening of intima.

Conclusions:

Most frequent symptoms correlating with a.basilaris structural changes were basilar syndrome and organic mood, anxiety disorders.
