Radiological methods of research in the diagnosis of asthenic syndrome against the background of pathology of the cervical spine

Abstract

The results of a comprehensive examination of school-aged patients with asthenic syndrome are presented, which included ultrasound duplex scanning of the arteries of the neck and head, Х-Ray examination of the cervical spine with functional tests. Research results demonstrate the presence of degenerative and/or functional changes in the spine in the vast majority of subjects, which trigger a cascade of pathophysiological reactions that cause blood flow disturbances in the vessels of the vertebro-basilar basin. Irritation of the cervical autonomic ganglia leads to dysfunction of the autonomic supply of cerebral vessels and brain structures, in particular the reticular formation.
