Encephalopathy should be understood as chronic or permanent damage to brain structures. Encephalopathy leads to the loss of basic human functions, such as movement and intellectual ability. Often they are also accompanied by neurological disorders of the central nervous system.. The causes of encephalopathy are very diverse..
Энцефалопатия – это очень общий термин. This applies to various chronic or permanent brain damage. for example, resulting in encephalopathy occurs paralysis and loss of mental abilities. Encephalopathy may occur as a result of many diseases and injuries, including during pregnancy. Как лечить энцефалопатию можно узнать по ссылке.
CONGENITAL ENCEPHALOPATHY
Congenital encephalopathy divided into the following:
- перинатальная травма – в результате механического (pressure, skin damage) and physical pressure;
- инфекции плода – энцефалопатия может возникнуть в результате цитомегаловируса, rubella, toxoplasmosis, hepatitis B, herpes, varicella;
- интоксикации во время беременности – гестоз (intoxication) its causes are unknown. Its development can be affected by multiple pregnancy, first pregnancy and the age of the mother;
- hereditary diseases, e.g. Down's syndrome.
Acquisition ENCEPHALOPATHY
Development acquired encephalopathy may occur as a result of injuries:
- concussion;
- brain injuries;
- the formation of an epidural, subdural hematoma and intracranial;
- гипертония – энцефалопатия в этом случае связана с внезапным повышением артериального давления. Кровоток нарушается, resulting in brain edema, синякам и небольшому инфаркту головного мозга. Симптомы гипертонической энцефалопатии включают головную боль, vomiting, convulsions, blurred vision and consciousness;
- атеросклероз – результат повреждения мелких артериол, расположенных в головном мозге на фоне атеросклероза. В результате повреждения происходят небольшие, but multiple cerebral infarctions;
- метаболизм – энцефалопатия в этой форме является результатом токсинов, produced in the body. These toxins are produced when organ failure, which manifests itself in violation of the brain.
The group of metabolic encephalopathies are:
- hepatic encephalopathy;
- uremic encephalopathy;
- hyperglycemic encephalopathy;
- hypoglycemic encephalopathy.
DIAGNOSTICS
Electroencephalography (electroencephalogram, EEG) – это исследование, the purpose of which is to evaluate the bioelectrical brain function, а значит – функционального состояния центральной нервной системы. EEG is useful in the diagnosis of many diseases of the nervous system, especially epilepsy. Also, thanks to the EEG can determine the type of coma and assess the state of health of patients with brain tumors.
Электроэнцефалография – показания к выполнению процедуры
Indications for the EEG are signs of impaired brain function (eg, convulsions), condition after head injury and after neurosurgical procedures.
Электроэнцефалография – как подготовиться к тесту?
Before the procedure should wash hair. (do not apply to them hair styling, eg, varnish, gel, balm, etc.. D.). In order to prevent a drop in blood sugar, it is desirable to eat a light meal before the test.
Important! During the day, prior EEG, should not take stimulating or inhibiting drugs (eg, a sedating agent) Central nervous system. Also not recommended to drink alcohol or caffeine drinks (coffee, strong tea, cola or other energy drinks).
