It had been performed a correlation of clinical and MRI characteristics of hypertonic angioencellopathy of cronical forms in men and women. It was done for the purpose of investigating sexual factor significance in cerebrovascular pathology. 50 men and 35 women who had clinical manifestations of discirculatory encephalopathy have been examined. It was revealed that in men paresis development is manly determined by total volume of brain substance lesion and by presence of large cortical-subcortical infactions, striocapsular infarctions and edge-zone infarctions; in women cognitive disorders are determined by total volume of brain substance.
