Abstract

The authors take position to distribution of age, sex and stadium, risk factors and therapeutic possibilities in 85 patients with cerebrovascular disease under 65 years. 80 percent have had hypertension, 34 percent diabetes and 15 percent had overweight. Ischemic forms of CVI prevailed with 62 percent. Within the stadia the age distribution is equal. In Stadium II and III mortality is small independent of age. The therapeutic success seems to be independent of therapeutic program. In stadium IV an oncoosmotic and brain metabolism promoting program seems to be superior to an only oncoosmotic acting. An ordered therapy-program after CVI-stadia is proposed.
