No expert can accurately say how much you can live with dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DEP) of the 3rd degree. The thing is that this disease is considered heavy, since it affects the work of the brain. The ailment primarily affects the vessels, as a result of which some parts of the brain cease to receive oxygen and necessary nutrients. This will lead to tissue damage and disruption of functions. The disease occurs in five percent of the world's population. Basically - these are elderly people, although it is often possible to observe the corresponding symptoms in able-bodied people.
Types of disease
The disease has three degrees of percolation. Each is distinguished by its symptoms and their severity. The most severe form is the third. In addition, the ailment is also divided into four main types:
- Atherosclerotic DEP. This disease develops as a result of atherosclerosis of the vessels of the head. It is considered the most common type of ailment. Basically, the main canals responsible for the main inflow of blood into the upper part are affected. In addition, they regulate the entire head blood flow. This disease makes it difficult to supply blood in the same volume, because of which the brain functions deteriorate.
- Venous. The disease occurs as a result of a violation of the outflow of blood from the skull. The resulting stagnation leads to the fact that the veins begin to squeeze. Because of this, brain activity is noticeably worse.
- Hypertonic. This type of ailment differs in that it is able to develop in young people. The disease is directly associated with hypertensive crises, during which there is an exacerbation. They also aggravate the course of the disease, which accelerates the development process.
- Dyscirculatory encephalopathy of grade 3 of mixed origin. It combines the signs of atherosclerotic and hypertensive types of the disease. The work of the main vessels of the head begins to deteriorate. In this situation, the situation is aggravated by hypertensive crises, which only exacerbate the existing symptoms.
Nature of the disease
The disease occurs as a result of a violation of the structure of the vessels. At the same time, it can be either acquired or congenital. According to statistics, the disease of the brain in people from 25 to 50 years is observed only in the first and second degree. It comes suddenly, but it is treated quickly. After 70 years, the risk of acquiring the disease of the second and third stages is several times greater. Disability with discirculatory encephalopathy 3 degrees in old age occurs in 80% of cases.
The first thing that happens is a spasm of the brain vessels. As a result, a small hearth appears, where no oxygen enters - the nerve cells begin to die. Because of this, even in the second stage there is a large risk of failure of the body to perform important functions. Sometimes there are situations in which individual organs stop working. If you do not take preventive measures and do not get treated, eventually it will lead to coma and death. The ailment strongly resembles a stroke , but its action is slowed down.
Dyscirculatory encephalopathy of 3rd degree - prognosis of life
Any conclusions can be drawn only after the specialist has established an accurate diagnosis. Often patients themselves try to determine the stage of the disease, making mistakes, because of what wrong decisions are made regarding treatment.
The last degree of discirculatory encephalopathy allows you to get a group of disability, because the ailment is considered serious and can cause irreparable harm to the body. That's why when the first symptoms appear, you should immediately contact the appropriate institution.
