Cerebromacular degeneration

Degenerative changes in the optic nerve are a group of pathological processes in which focal lesions of the retinal and optic fibers develop, accompanied by structural changes in cells, nerve fibers and optic nerve fibers. This is a non-specific collective term. With optic nerve degeneration, an unpromising lesion occurs at the site where the fibers exit the optic disc, an accumulation of so-called glial cells (glia are auxiliary cells that perform various functions in the body), which leads to atrophy of the optic fibers and the formation of cysts in the optic nerve. Loss of visual function is usually more severe than visual field impairment. Concomitant phenomena may be decreased visual acuity, retinal chorioretinal dystrophy with the development of drusen. Intradiscal hemorrhages are gradually replaced by spheroid cysts containing blood plasma. In the third fundus, holes and breaks in the vitreous region may be observed.

Cerebral degeneration is the process of gradual destruction of brain tissue under the influence of various factors. As a result, functional and morphological changes occur in the brain, which can lead to disruption of the functioning of various body systems.

Cerebral degeneration affects the tissues of many parts of the nervous system. This most often occurs in places where tissue is close to blood vessels, such as areas in the spinal cord and brain.

Acute cerebral degenerative process most often develops against the background of alcohol poisoning or acute cardiovascular failure. The gradual development of the disease is usually accompanied by a long-term decrease in blood
