[Comparative clinical pathology of encephalopathy with circulatory dysfunction in those who participated in the clean-up after the Chernobyl accident and in non-irradiated patients].

A comparison was done of incidence and degree of main symptoms and syndromes of dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DE) in liquidators of the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident and in those patients who have not come to be exposed to radiation. Established in the study were statistically significant differences suggesting that in liquidators injuries in the hypothalamic, truncal and cochlear zones of the brain occur 2 to 4 times as frequently as in unexposed patients. The incidence of the most severe variants of a third-degree DE comes up to 19.
