Transient cerebral ischemic
attacks and related syndromes
5
Transient strokes
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) ―
is an acute episode of temporary
neurologic dysfunction resulting from
focal cerebral ischemia not associated
with permanent cerebral infarction
and lasting less than 24h.
• TIA is caused by a temporary
blockage of one of the arteries that
supply the brain.
6
Symptoms of TIA in carotid
arteries
• hemiparesis
• hemihypesthesia
• aphasia and apraxia (in damage of
the dominant hemisphere)
• anosognosia
• blindness or decreased vision in one
eye
• central paresis of the facial nerve
7
Symptoms of TIA in in vertebral
and basilar arteries
- dizziness
- nausea and vomiting
- double vision
- dysarthria and dysphagia
- ataxia
- amnesia
- cortical blindness
- tetraparesis
- hearing loss
- peripheral paresis of the facial nerve
8
Cerebral hypertensive crises
are associated with hypertensive
diseases and accompanied by
symptoms of increased intracranial
pressure.
Symptoms: occipital headache and
visual disorders (photopsy);
hyperhydrosis; hyperemia of face;
a sharp headache; a nausea;
vomiting; nonsystemic vertigo;
epileptic
attacks.
9
Acute hypertensive
encephalopathy is typically associated with
hypertensive renal disease
Symptoms:
-elevated blood pressure,
-psychomotor agitation,
-nausea, vomiting,
-visual and sensitive disorders,
-impairment of consciousness,
-symptoms of increased intracranial
pressure,
-meningeal symptoms,
10
-local symptoms and epileptic attacks are
probable.
Permanent strokes
Ischemic Stroke is a syndrome
characterized by a sudden loss of
brain function caused by the
interruption of cerebral blood flow
and lasting more than 24 hours.
Etiology / risk factors
1. Atherosclerosis
2. Arterial hypertension
11
4. Heart diseases (atrial fibrillation,
myocardial infarction, left ventricular
aneurysm,artificial heart valve, rheumatic
disease of the heart valves,
myocardiopathy, bacterial endocarditis)).
5. Vasculitis
6. Diabetes
Etiology / risk factors
6. Hematological diseases (erythremia, sickle
cell anemia, thrombocytosis, leukemia)
7. Immunological disorders (antiphospholipid
syndrome)
12
8. Venous thrombosis
9. Dissection of the precerebral or cerebral
arteries
10. Migraine
11. In women - taking oral contraceptives
12. Smoking
Pathogenesis of the Ischemic Stroke
- thrombosis
- Embolism
- decreased perfusion
Pathogenetic types:
- aterotrombotic (15-20%)
13
- cardioembolic (15-20%)
- hemodynamic (5-10%)
- lacunar (infarct size ≤1.5 cm) (15-20%)
- hemorheologic
- cryptogenic (20-30%)
14
Pathogenesis of the Ischemic Stroke
15
Metabolic changes in reply to the acute
focal ischemia of the brain:
1.Decrease of cerebral blood flow below
55 ml (100 g/min) causes
deceleration of proteins’ synthesis in
neurons.
2. Decrease of the cerebral blood flow
below 35 ml (100 g/min) stimulates
anaerobic glycolysis.
3. Decrease of the cerebral blood flow
below 20 ml leads to redundant
16
release of the excitatory
neurotransmitters and to the energy
metabolism disorders.
4. Anoxic cell membrane depolarization
― apoptosis (death of neuron cells)
occurs due to reduction of the
cerebral blood flow below 10 ml.
Сentral zone of the Cerebral infarction
(«nucleus») is formed in 6-8 minutes after
acute focal ischemia development. In the
course of several hours cerebral infarction
17
«nucleus» is surrounded by a zone of
«ischemic penumbra».
Penumbra is an area of dynamic
metabolic changes, in which brain
bloodflow is reduced to 20-40 ml (100
g/min) and only functional changes take
place.
Duration of penumbra existence defines
time period called «a therapeutic
window»
18
― the period when medical actions
are most perspective and can limit
cerebral infarction area.
The great mass of cerebral infarction
is formed in 3-6 h after the first
clinical symptoms occurrence, and its
formation comes to the end in 48-56
h.
Periods of the stroke:
• up to 6 hours;
• acute (from 1 day to 1 month);
19
• early rehabilitation period (up to 3
months);
• late rehabilitation period (from 3
months to 1 year);
• sequelas of stroke (from a year and
more).
