Arterial deformity is detected by duplex scanning of the vessels of the brain and extremities. Pathological tortuosity can occur in the carotid and vertebral arteries. In addition, it is possible to damage the vessels of the brain, which leads to the formation of blood clots and the appearance of arterial obstruction.
Causes of arterial deformity
Most often, the cause of the disease is heredity. Due to the fact that elastic fibers prevail over collagen fibers in the vessel tissue, the walls of large arteries become thinner, wear out and undergo deformations. Patients with atherosclerosis and hypertension are also at risk. Prolonged chronic hypertension can lead to damage to the blood vessels of the brain.
The lack of timely treatment can lead to complications and the need for surgery:
- in case of deformation of the carotid artery, if there is a risk of impaired cerebral circulation;
- in case of deformation of the vertebral arteries, if there is a threat of acute ischemic stroke;
- in case of deformation of the cerebral vessels, if necessary and technically possible.
In other cases, conservative treatment is used. The main tasks are to reduce blood pressure and blood viscosity, prevent the formation of blood clots. Manual therapy is contraindicated. In case of vascular deformity, it is recommended to undergo treatment in a sanatorium every year.
