Anterior Circulation Intra- and extracranial Artery Stenosis and Cognitive Impairment

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-5765.2017.11.010

Abstract

Abstract:

Anterior circulation intra- and extracranial artery stenosis is one of the risk factors for ischemic stroke. Recent research had proven that anterior circulation intra- and extracranial artery stenosis might cause cognitive function decline through a variety of mechanism. Its treatment methods included drug therapy, interventional therapy and surgical treatment.This paper reviewed the mechanism of cognitive impairment caused by anterior circulation intra- and extracranial artery stenosis, and its clinical manifestation and treatment, so as to provide reference for clinical work.

Key words: Anterior circulation; Intra- and extracranial artery stenosis; Cognitive impairment;
Carotid artery stenting; Carotid endarterectomy; Revascularization

摘要：

前循环颅内外动脉狭窄是缺血性卒中危险因素之一，目前研究证实前循环颅内外动脉狭窄可以通过多种机制引起认知功能下降。其治疗方法有药物治疗、介入治疗及手术治疗。本文对前循环颅内外动脉狭窄引起认知功能障碍的机制、临床表现及治疗方法进行综述，为临床工作者提供参考。
