[Several clinical variants of ischemic infarcts of the brain with a tumor-like course]. / O nekotorykh klinicheskikh variantakh ishemicheskikh infarktov mozga s opukholepodobnym techeniem.

Clinical variants of ischemic brain strokes with a tumor-like course were studied in 97 patients. It was shown that different mechanisms of the development of ischemic impairment of the cerebral circulation in patients of different age accounts for a variety of clinical manifestations. The author has elucidated distinguished characteristics in the rate of disease development, severity of the hypertension syndrome and the nature of focal disorders in patients of young, middle, elderly and old age, which should be taken into account in the diagnosis.

[Clinico-pathogenetic polymorphism of the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome]. / O kliniko-patogeneticheskom polimorfizme sindroma Tolosy--Khanta.

The authors present the results of examining 31 patients with the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and analyze the relevant literature data. According to the authors, the syndrome may be due to limited pachymeningitis in the area of the cavernous sinus, periarteritis (arteritis) of the carotid artery siphon and their combination with limited leptomeningitis of the same localization. Clinical polymorphism depends on the nature, degree and stage of the process as well as on the individual characteristics of the topography of the damage. The necessity of the differential treatment is emphasized.

[Ischemic strokes with a pseudotumorous course in young and middle-aged patients]. / Ishemicheskie insul'ty s psevdotumorozynym techeniem v molodom i srednem vozraste.

Twenty-nine patients from 28 to 50 years of age with ischemic stroke following a pseudotumorous course were under observation. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those aged from 28 to 40 formed group 1, patients of 41 to 50 years of age formed group 2. Total occlusion of the cerebral vessels in the basin of the internal artery was the morphological substrate responsible for the development of stroke in group 1. In group 2 cerebral infarction was caused by two mechanisms: total obstruction of the cerebral vessels and partial occlusion of the vessel, and chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency.
