Abstract
The aim was to study cases of pathological deformation of the carotid artery (PD CA) and to determine the age and sex distribution, basic pathomorphological and clinical changes, related diseases and risk factors. Material and methods. The medical records of 175 patients having operated on PD CA were analyzed. The pathomorphological study of carotid artery biopsies received from surgery intervention was analyzed. Results. Women from 50 to 60 more often detected PD CA. Transit ischemic attacks, discirculator encephalopathy and ischemic infarctions were its clinical manifestations. Atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia and toxic influence were the major causes of PD CA. Kinking is the basic type of PD CA. The pathomorphological changes of PD CA include intimal hyperplasia, unreverse changes of elastic fibers, fibrosis and dystrophy of media’s collagen fibers, adventitial sclerosis. Conclusion. Further pathomorphological studies aimed at the definition of distinctive morphogenesis characteristic for each type of PD CA are needed for more accurate definition of its etiology and pathogenesis.
