Causes of spasms

Nutrition of the brain, its blood supply can be disturbed due to the narrowing of the holes in the cervical spine, in which the arteries of the basilar artery pass (located in special holes in the vertebrae). A sharp narrowing of the lumen in the vertebrae at certain positions of the head (occlusion) or due to osteochondrosis is accompanied by a violation of the blood supply to important parts of the brain, which leads to the appearance of the above symptoms. Spasm of cerebral vessels is a serious illness that should not be ignored, it is necessary to have an ultrasound examination of the cervical spine and the passage of an MRI (magnetic resonance tomography) of the neck and head.

The cause of the disease can be an aneurysm, the emergence of which still does not have a common opinion in the theory of medicine. Presumably, the cause may be degenerative changes in the walls of the vessels, which contributes to the occurrence of an aneurysm, as well as the factors contributing to its change and causing hemorrhages in the brain. Spasm of cerebral vessels can cause:

• Defects in the muscular layer of the vessel.
• Damage to the elastic membrane inside it.
• Damage to the fibers in the artery itself.
• The increasing rigidity of the artery wall in combination with the decreasing thickness of the vessel.

Often, cerebral vasospasm can be a consequence of increased blood pressure, an abnormality in the development of the arterial blood supply to the brain, or the consequence of a tumor. The causes can be different, as a consequence and signs of the above diseases, and the manifestation of the priests of ischemia or infarction. Do not delay with treatment, do not be treated yourself.
