Clinical-instrumental evaluation of the effects of mesoglycan sulphate in chronic vascular encephalopathy.

15 patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease were studied using carotid Doppler and B-mode echography, transcranial Doppler, EEG and clinical evaluation before and 3 and 6 months after treatment with mesoglycan sulphate at doses of 96 mg/day per os. A subjective improvement was reported by 7 out of 15 patients while no significant variations in Doppler, TCD, echographic and EEG data were observed. During treatment no side effects or laboratory abnormalities were found.
