Headache and dizziness, disturbances in statics and coordination of movements, visual disorders, oculomotor disorders indicate a severe brain disease. Below in the article you will find the causes of the disease; doctors who treat him; necessary medical procedures for treatment; as well as general information about the disease, its localization, the features of the diagnosis of diseases and their treatment. Nevertheless, we advise you to consult a doctor, because self-treatment in 90% is fraught with the transition of the disease to a chronic stage with extremely unpleasant complications.

Vertebrobasilar insufficiency. general information

Vertebrobasilar insufficiency is a complex disease of the brain, which arose as a result of a decrease in its blood supply.

AT MC BIOSS the best doctors in Moscow work, having great experience in treatment Vertebrobasilar insufficiency

WHEN YOU SHOULD SOUND THE ALARM, THE FIRST SYMPTOMS

The diagnosis of circulatory insufficiency in the VVS is based on a characteristic symptom complex that combines several groups of clinical symptoms:

  • visual disturbances
  • oculomotor disorders (and symptoms of dysfunction of other cranial nerves)
  • violations of statics and coordination of movements
  • vestibular (cochleovestibular) disorders
  • pharyngeal and laryngeal symptoms
  • headache
  • asthenic syndrome
  • vegetative-vascular dystonia
  • conduction symptoms (pyramidal, sensitive)

It is this symptom complex that occurs in most patients with circulatory failure in the vertebrobasilar basin. In this case, a presumptive diagnosis is determined by the presence of at least two of these symptoms. They are usually short-term and often go away on their own, although they are a sign of trouble in this system and require clinical and instrumental examination. A thorough history is especially necessary to clarify the circumstances of the onset of certain symptoms.

The basis of the clinical manifestations of VBI is a combination of:

  • characteristic complaints of the patient
  • objectively detectable neurological symptoms, indicating the involvement of structures that supply blood from the vertebrobasilar system.

The core of the clinical picture of vertebrobasilar insufficiency is the development of neurological symptoms, reflecting transient acute cerebral ischemia in the areas of vascularization of the peripheral branches of the vertebral and basilar arteries. However, some pathological changes can be detected in patients even after the completion of an ischemic attack.

In the same patient with VBN, several clinical symptoms and syndromes are usually combined, among which it is not always easy to single out the leading one.

Conventionally, all the symptoms of VBN can be divided into:

  • paroxysmal (symptoms and syndromes that are observed during an ischemic attack)
  • permanent (they are noted for a long time and can be detected in a patient in the interictal period).

In the pool of arteries of the vertebrobasilar system, development is possible:

  • transient ischemic attacks
  • ischemic strokes of varying severity, including lacunar.

The uneven damage to the arteries leads to the fact that ischemia of the brain stem is characterized by mosaic, "spotting".

The combination of signs and the degree of their severity are determined by:

  • localization of the lesion
  • the size of the lesion
  • possibilities of collateral circulation

The neurological syndromes described in the classical literature are relatively rare in pure form in practice due to the variability of the blood supply system of the brain stem and cerebellum. It is noted that during attacks the side of predominant motor disorders (paresis, ataxia), as well as sensory disorders, may change.

1. Movement disorders in patients with VBI are characterized by a combination of:

  • central paresis
  • coordination disorders due to damage to the cerebellum and its connections

As a rule, there is a combination of dynamic ataxia in the extremities and intentional tremor, gait disturbances, unilateral decrease in muscle tone.

It should be noted that clinically it is far from always possible to identify the involvement of the blood supply areas of the carotid or vertebral arteries in the pathological process, which makes it desirable to use neuroimaging methods.

2. Sensory disorders are manifested:

  • symptoms of prolapse with the appearance of hypo- or anesthesia in one limb, half of the body.
  • paresthesia may occur, usually involving the skin of the extremities and face.
  • disorders of superficial and deep sensitivity (occur in a quarter of patients with VBI and, as a rule, are caused by damage to the ventrolateral thalamus in the areas of blood supply to a. thalamogeniculata or the posterior external villous artery)

3. Visual disturbances can be expressed as:

  • loss of visual fields (scotomas, homonymous hemianopsia, cortical blindness, less often - visual agnosia)
  • appearance of photopsies
  • blurred vision, blurred vision of objects
  • the appearance of visual images - "flies", "lights", "stars", etc.

4. Disorders of the functions of cranial nerves

  • oculomotor disorders (diplopia, convergent or divergent strabismus, vertical separation of the eyeballs),
  • peripheral paresis of the facial nerve
  • bulbar syndrome (less commonly pseudobulbar syndrome)

These symptoms appear in various combinations, their isolated occurrence due to reversible ischemia in the vertebrobasilar system is much less common. Consideration should be given to the possibility of a combined lesion of the brain structures supplied by the carotid and vertebral arteries.

5. Pharyngeal and laryngeal symptoms:

  • sensation of a lump in the throat, pain, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing food, spasms of the pharynx and esophagus
  • hoarseness, aphonia, feeling of a foreign body in the larynx, coughing

6. Attacks of dizziness (lasting from several minutes to hours), which may be due to the morphological and functional characteristics of the blood supply to the vestibular apparatus, its high sensitivity to ischemia.

Dizziness:

  • as a rule, it is systemic in nature (in some cases, dizziness is non-systemic in nature and the patient experiences a feeling of sinking, motion sickness, unsteadiness of the surrounding space)
  • manifested by a sensation of rotation or rectilinear movement of surrounding objects or one's own body.
  • associated autonomic disorders are characteristic: nausea, vomiting, profuse hyperhidrosis, changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

Over time, the intensity of the sensation of dizziness may weaken, while the emerging focal symptoms (nystagmus, ataxia) become more pronounced and become persistent.

However, it must be taken into account that the feeling of dizziness is one of the most common symptoms, the frequency of which increases with age.

Dizziness in patients with VBN, as well as in patients with other forms of vascular lesions of the brain, may be due to the suffering of the vestibular analyzer at various levels, and its nature is determined not so much by the characteristics of the underlying pathological process (atherosclerosis, microangiopathy, arterial hypertension), but localization of the focus of ischemia:

  • lesions of the peripheral vestibular apparatus
  • defeat of the central part of the vestibular apparatus
  • psychiatric disorders

Sudden systemic vertigo, especially in combination with acute unilateral deafness and tinnitus, may be a characteristic manifestation of labyrinth infarction (although isolated vertigo is rarely the only manifestation of VBI).

If you notice warning signs in a child or a person close to you - constant aggression, secrecy, panic, then these may be symptoms of drug addiction. Dilated pupils, unreasonable fear, seizure, attack, inadequacy, hallucinations, delirium can also signal a problem. In this case, it is best to immediately seek help from a professional narcological clinic "Salvation". It is in this clinic that you can anonymously take or pass a drug test (determination of use and intake), for example, a spice urine test.

Contact the narcological center "Salvation", and here you can get qualified help and psychological support in a difficult period of life. The clinic has women's and men's departments, because the treatment of drugs and alcoholism in women and men has some features and differences. "Salvation" is a closed type hospital, where patients are in complete safety and under the close supervision of specialists.

Many do not believe that it is possible to get rid of addiction, they turn to the Orthodox Church, to various healers at monasteries. Very often you can hear the prayers of relatives: "Advise, tell me where they are being treated." The well-known sorceress Baba Shura from Abdulino helps drug addicts and alcoholics. Treatment with folk methods and means does not always justify itself, where it is more reliable to turn to specialists. Turning to alternative medicine for help, you risk losing precious time.

Alcoholism is also an acute problem. In the clinic, you can undergo coding using various methods - laser coding for alcoholism, the Dovzhenko method, the torpedo method, intramuscular coding. If necessary, a narcologist will come to your home (specialists will come, pick you up), carry out a withdrawal from binge at home, prescribe the necessary treatment and detox. Alcoholism can lead to serious problems - both physical (diseases of the internal organs, diabetes) and psychological (aggression, schizophrenia).

Drug addiction can lead to serious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and others.

Phobias is a group of thought disorders characterized by persistent but irrational and pathological feelings of fear. In this case, the patient may understand the groundlessness of his feelings, but cannot control them.

Symptoms of phobias when confronted with an object of anxiety include:

  • rapid and difficult breathing;
  • hyperventilation of the lungs, dizziness;
  • fainting;
  • contraction of the muscles of the larynx and abdomen (spasms);
  • numbness;
  • a feeling of separation from oneself;
  • increased heart rate;
  • cold sweat;
  • trembling of limbs.

Diagnostic studies

The diagnosis and treatment of phobias is carried out by a psychiatrist or a specialist in clinical psychology (science at the junction with psychiatry). Based on the anamnesis (data on previous diseases, living conditions and heredity), as well as information obtained during the interview of the patient, the doctor concludes whether the fear is rational.

It turns out the cause of the phobia - whether it is associated with other mental disorders. The disease can develop on its own or be a symptom, so the doctor studies all its manifestations in the patient.

Based on the information received, not only a diagnosis is made, but also a further treatment plan is determined.

The main stages of treatment

For treatment, they resort to complex therapy, consisting of an individual set of techniques.

Medical treatment. Traditionally, regardless of what psychotherapeutic methods were prescribed, medications are used in parallel to dull fear. The mechanism of the development of a phobia is such that once a signal about a real or imagined danger was given to the brain, it remained there, reminding of itself every time in a similar situation. Medications help to respond less sharply to it. Among them: beta-blockers, antidepressants, tranquilizers, antipsychotics.

Psychological help. It consists in educating the patient about the phobia, learning how to cope with the difficulties that the disorder causes, training the flexibility of the reaction.

Rational psychotherapy. Teaches sanity and a sober assessment of emerging situations. Since a phobia is an unfounded fear, the patient must learn to ignore unpleasant sensations if they arise without good reason.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Based on the collection of information for the subsequent destruction of the pattern (psychological "anchor"), which is a certain situation or object that triggers the mechanism of development of fear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Changes the principles of thinking - a psychiatrist helps the patient to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. The reasons for the development of a phobia are also analyzed if they are irrational (that is, fear is caused by a reality that is actually not dangerous), and ways to control one's behavior are suggested.

Hypnotherapy (hypnotherapy). Entering the patient into a trance, the doctor examines his mind, finding out the cause of the phobia and the prerequisites for its development. Also, during the patient's stay in a hypnotic state, the behavior model is corrected when meeting with an object of fear, anxiety and panic are eliminated.

In addition to specialized therapy, patients are recommended to work independently: changing their lifestyle and thinking, using the practice of meditation and increasing physical activity.

When confronted with their fear, doctors advise not to panic, but to do the exact opposite: depending on the characteristics of the phobia, either ignore it, or, conversely, learn to deal with it directly during the meeting.

Complications

At an early stage, phobias may not have a significant impact on the patient's life and be invisible to others. But without appropriate treatment, the disease reaches a stage when it begins to affect all areas of the patient's life.

Treatment of diseases in the Center for Somnology:

The multifunctional Sleep Center deals with the diagnosis and treatment of the entire spectrum of sleep disorders. We have all the resources to effectively help patients, even with complex, long-term or complicated sleep disorders. We provide treatment for the following diseases:

  • chronic insomnia
  • Drug addiction to sleeping pills
  • Increased daytime sleepiness
  • Narcolepsy
  • Circadian Rhythm Disorders
  • Various neurotic disorders, including depressive states
  • Snoring and pauses in breathing during sleep (apnea)
  • Eating disorders due to sleep problems (obesity)
  • Frequent nighttime urination
  • erectile dysfunction
  • Nocturnal cardiac arrhythmias, arterial hypertension, difficult to treat, asthma attacks at night, autonomic crises, migraine
  • Restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movements during sleep
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding)
  • Nightmares, night terrors, sleepwalking, confused waking, sleep-talking, sleep convulsions, sleep paralysis, and other disturbances

Types of manipulations

  • Night polysomnographic study, including with the possibility of assessing erectile dysfunction
  • Cardio-respiratory monitoring
  • Multiple sleep latency test
  • Selection of CPAP therapy
  • Encephalophony ("Music of the Brain")
  • Psychotherapy
  • Inhalation of therapeutic doses of xenon

Diagnosis of diseases

Nighttime polysomnographic study is the "gold standard" for diagnosing sleep disorders.

The method allows you to get the most complete information about the functioning of various body systems during sleep. In our work, we use the latest diagnostic equipment from Neurosoft.

Cardiorespiratory monitoring is a method for diagnosing breathing disorders during sleep (snoring and sleep apnea) at home.

The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is an objective method for assessing daytime sleepiness. It is important for the correct diagnosis of narcolepsy (excessive daytime sleepiness) or other diseases that are accompanied by this symptom.

Penile tumescence test by recording spontaneous erections using the Androscan MIT device. The method is indicated for patients with identified neurological and psychological disorders, when the role of these disorders in the development of erectile insufficiency is unclear. The test is important for patients with psychogenic impotence.

Treatment Methods

Encephalophony, or Brain Music, is a unique non-drug method of treating insomnia, anxiety and depressive disorders, and chronic stress by daily listening to music files obtained by computer processing of the patient's own EEG (assessment of the electrical activity of the brain). .

Inhalation of therapeutic doses of xenon is one of the modern methods of treatment and restoration of not only physical health, but also psychological state. The method is based on inhalation with a xenon-oxygen mixture. Xenon does not cause chemical and biochemical reactions, is excreted without side effects and is non-toxic, has a deep restorative, tonic and healing effect on the body. .

CPAP therapy, or CPAP therapy (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), is a unique method of correcting pauses in breathing during sleep. It consists in creating a constant positive pressure in the airways using a special apparatus. The CPAP therapy method is effective both in eliminating sleep apnea and snoring syndrome and in treating diseases associated with them: arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, heart rhythm disturbances, lipid metabolism disorders, etc.

As a result of treatment, the risk of dangerous cardiovascular diseases, myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke is significantly reduced, the probability of death over the next decade is reduced by more than 3 times. The specialists of the center help the patient to adapt to the device, select a mask and initial comfortable pressure, and teach how to use the equipment. We do everything for the most effective use of the CPAP machine at home. .

Methods of positive psychotherapy

Physiological and mental reactions are various manifestations of the individual internal state of a person. Overcoming the bands of stressful, conflict and problematic situations, getting into life crises, the human body can experience prolonged states of tension, which inevitably leads to various sleep disorders.

The main task of positive psychotherapy is the transformation of the patient's beliefs about his own disease and the search for new opportunities for internal reserve in overcoming the disease.

The methods of positive psychotherapy are aimed at helping the patient to realize that one needs to live one's own life (positum) in such a way that it becomes brighter, brings health, respect and acceptance of one's own uniqueness.

Cognitive Psychotherapy

Cognitive psychotherapy is the correction of existing psychopathological symptoms both in relation to sleep itself and in relation to disorders that occur during wakefulness. Reducing the level of anxiety, as the most common symptom associated with disturbed night sleep. As part of psychotherapy, a search is made for the main factors that provoke the development of sleep disorders, and work with them. Patients with insomnia tend to "catastrophize" their illness. They believe that the later they fall asleep, the less energy they get and the worse the next day will be, and this increases anxiety and tension. The goal of cognitive therapy is dysfunctional sleep beliefs and maladaptive behavioral strategies. Its methods are behavioral experiments and dialogue, when sequential questions are put before the patient, answering which he independently formulates the correct judgments. As a result, realistic ideas about the body's need for sleep and sources of daytime energy are formed, the patient stops "blaming" insomnia for his daytime failures - there are other objective reasons for them.

Relaxation techniques

According to E. Jacobson, neuromuscular relaxation consists in performing a set of exercises consisting in alternating maximum tension and relaxation of muscle groups. Thanks to the exercises, tension is removed from certain parts of the body, which causes a decrease in emotional stress.

The method of sensory reproduction of images is to relax by presenting images, objects and whole situations associated with relaxation. At the same time, attention is focused on proper breathing and pleasant sensations in various parts of the body.

The method of autogenic training is based on learning the possibilities of autosuggestion. In the course of training, connections are formed between self-orders and psychophysiological processes in the body. A patient who has completed a course of training can, with the help of certain self-hypnosis formulas, cause the desired feeling of relaxation and peace.

Ericksonian hypnosis

It is considered one of the most effective and elegant methods of modern psychotherapy. This is "soft" non-directive hypnosis. It uses our ability to involuntary hypnotic trance - the state of the psyche in which it is most open and ready for positive changes.

Moreover, each of us plunges into a state of trance every day.

So, when we fall asleep, but do not sleep yet, before our mind's eye there are different images that immerse us in a world that is between reality and sleep. During Ericksonian hypnosis, a person remains awake: he sees, hears, feels. But the focus of his attention is directed not to the external world, as in ordinary life, but to the internal: to memories, fantasies, images. In this state, access to internal resources is opened, forgotten by a person, but stored in his unconscious. During Ericksonian hypnosis, nothing is suggested to the patient. The goal here is to release the knowledge, experience, sensations and thoughts that are already in the human subconscious, and on their basis to create completely new resources and discover the sources of problems.

Comfortable conditions

Doctors of the Center practice an individual approach to each patient. We offer comfortable conditions for staying at the Center, no queues, personal support during diagnosis and treatment. Attentive attitude on the part of specialists, the use of expert equipment, high quality of medical services are guaranteed to all patients.

  • We have the opportunity to conduct research at home, which predisposes to obtaining more accurate diagnostic results.
  • You can visit the center at a convenient time, including weekends and holidays
  • For your convenience, the center offers a "pillow menu" - anatomical pillows of various shapes with additional properties (memory effect, cooling effect, the ability to neutralize electromagnetic radiation), which do not cause allergies and provide free air exchange.
  • Near the clinic there is free parking, available all the time for diagnosis and treatment.
