Abstract

The results of reoencephalographic and ophtalmologic tests given to the patients who had suffed from the Chernobyl accident, were analysed. The signs of venous dyscirculation and intracerebral hypertention were revealed. It was established that the severity of encephalopathy depends on the expression of dyscirculatory disorders not in all patients under study.
