Abstract:

The report examines the practicability of the term «discirculatory encephalopathy» used in the Russian Federation to designate the chronic cerebral ischemia of different origin. The authors discuss the state of small vessel disease which manifests itself through slowly progressive cerebral changes. On the basis of their own research results and literature review the authors conclude that a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba EGb761 (tanakan) can be effectively used in patients with small vessel disease.

Keywords:
