Abstract
The clinical, neuropsychological and computed tomography (CT) data were studied in 180 elderly and senile patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency. The most informative CT-parameters for the assessment of the cerebral atrophy in such cases were the width and the ratio of the 3 ventricle, the width of the frontal horns and the summarized frontal distance. Evaluating the CT data, it is necessary to take into account age and sex of the patients. The most pronounced neurological and neuropsychological disorders in elderly and senile patients with the cerebrovascular insufficiency were associated with more dilated cerebral ventricles.
