“…This process causes the development of long-term chronic ischemia leading to slowly growing neurodegenerative and atrophic changes of transcranial laser radiation in the treatment of the consequences of ischemic stroke [13,14], cranial trauma and dementia [15][16][17]. These studies indicate a good neuroprotective effect of the treatment contributing to successful neurorehabilitation, but it should be noted that these treatments are also effective in the early, not severe stages of the disease.…”

Introduction: The research is dedicated to the main features of brain angioarchitectonics caused by the development of Binswanger's disease (BD), as well as to the effectiveness of the method of transcatheter laser revascularization of cerebral vessels in the treatment of this disease. Control Group: favorable and adequate clinical results were not achieved in any case; comparatively adequate clinical result was gained in 7 (77.78%) cases; comparatively positive clinical result -in 2 (22.23%) cases. Materials Conclusions:The method of transcatheter laser revascularization of cerebral vessels furthers natural angiogenesis, induces collateral and capillary revascularization both in ischemic areas and in closely located tissues, thereby improving cerebral blood flow. At the same time, laser energy promotes the restoration of metabolic processes in neurons. It significantly distinguishes the proposed method from conservative treatment.

“…Concerning healthy subjects, beneficial cognitive and emotional effects had been reported following frontal N-LLT. [11,12] Regarding the issue of skull penetration, Jagdeo et al had reported that near infrared measurably penetrated soft tissue, bone and brain parenchyma in the formalin preserved human cadaveric model. [13] With the transfrontal application one should keep in mind the variable size of the frontal sinus, the bone around the sinus is thicker, and not seldom a sinusitis affects severely affected chronic patients.…”

Background:Transcranial low-level laser therapy (T-LLT) proved promising in acute stroke studies and in single traumatic brain injured subjects (TBI). It was assumed to increase cortical mitochondrial energy production and/or vasodilatation.Objective: Within this case series the potential of transcranial lowlevel laser therapy in improving the alertness and awareness in TBI subjects with severe disorders of consciousness will be investigated. Methods:Following a 21-day baseline, the forehead of five patients, four chronic in a state of unresponsive wakefulness or minimal consciousness, one subacute in the state of akinetic mutism, was stimulated with the T-LLT (785 nm, 10 mW/cm 2 , CW mode, 21 emitting diodes) for 10 min every workday for six weeks. Follow-up was four weeks after end of intervention. Primary variable was the revised version of the Coma Recovery Scale (r-CRS, 0-23), blindly assessed by an external reviewer with the help of videos. Results:The r-CRS, almost stable during baseline, improved in all patients during the intervention, from 3 to 12, 9 to 12, 8 to 12 and 5-12 in the chronic, and from 6 to 21 in the subacute patient. Follow-up revealed a sustained effect. The patient in the state of akinetic mutism improved her competence in the activities of daily living and mobility status. Single epileptic fits occurred in two patients during the intervention. Conclusion: T-LLT
