Etiological factors and clinical course of transient disorders of the cerebral circulation developing at various terms of gestation and in the immediate postpartum period were studied in 132 women. Early symptoms of a cerebral crisis included headache, vertigo, palpitation, dyspnea, darkness in the eyes, noise in the ears or head, paresthesia, and numbness of the legs. Occasionally, it had to be differentiated from a cerebral stroke. The most important etiological factors of this cerebrovascular pathology included toxemia of pregnancy, exacerbation of the rheumatic process, essential hypertension, vegetovascular dystonia, intracranial aneurysm, etc. Various combinations of a number of etiological factors of transient disorders of the cerebral circulation are possible. Recommendations about the management of pregnancy and parturition are offered.

Alterations in the microcirculatory bed of the thalamus resulting from thermal trauma manifest themselves as dystonia of the arteriolar-venular part of the microcirculatory bed, sharply decreased density of functionally active capillaries, area of their exchange surface and amount of blood in them. Clear distinctions are observed in stages of burn disease. At the stage of burn shock all morphometric parameters of the capillary bed are decreased in anterior, medial, ventro-lateral and posterior (pulvinar) nuclei of the thalamus. At the stage of toxemia in anterior and medial nuclei the parameters were at the level of the control group or even higher. On the contrary, in ventro-lateral and posterior nuclei they remained considerably lower as compared with control figures. It is likely to be associated with the fact that the pathways of pain, tactile and temperature sensitivity which are the first to react to burn trauma are switched over in these groups of nuclei.
