Introduction: The research is dedicated to the main features of brain angioarchitectonics caused by the development of Binswanger's disease (BD), as well as to the effectiveness of the method of transcatheter laser revascularization of cerebral vessels in the treatment of this disease. Control Group: favorable and adequate clinical results were not achieved in any case; comparatively adequate clinical result was gained in 7 (77.78%) cases; comparatively positive clinical result -in 2 (22.23%) cases. Materials Conclusions:The method of transcatheter laser revascularization of cerebral vessels furthers natural angiogenesis, induces collateral and capillary revascularization both in ischemic areas and in closely located tissues, thereby improving cerebral blood flow. At the same time, laser energy promotes the restoration of metabolic processes in neurons. It significantly distinguishes the proposed method from conservative treatment.

“…Simultaneously, laser energy penetrates deeply enough into cerebral tissues and stimulates metabolic processes in neurons increasing the energy resource of the cells by acting on mitochondria, which leads to neuroprotective effects [17]. These data are supported by works of many authors who conducted experimental and clinical studies on extracranial laser action on the brain in various pathological conditions [22]- [27].…”

The research is dedicated to the possibility of restoring cerebral blood supply in patients with brain vessels hypoplasia accompanied by migraine. The research involved 67 patients aged 29 -58 (average age 42) with severe migraine. The examination plan included laboratory diagnostics, assessment of dementia severity (CDR), assessment of cognitive impairment (MMSE), cerebral computed tomography (CT), cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebral scintigraphy (SG), rheoencephalography (REG), cerebral multi-gated angiography (MUGA). Hypoplasia symptoms were detected in 56 (83.58%) patients. To improve cerebral blood supply, the method of transcateter laser revascularization by means of low-energy CW lasers was used. Good immediate angiographic outcome manifested in persistent improvement of the intracranial vascular bed and marked collateral vascularization was obtained in 53 (94.64%) patients. Good clinical outcomealmost complete regression of migraine and vestibular disorders-was obtained in 49 (87.50%) patients. Satisfactory clinical outcome-partial regression of migraine and vestibular disorderswas observed in 7 (12.50%) patients. The method of transcatheter laser revascularization of cerebral vessels is a physiological, effective and low-invasive treatment for patients suffering from cerebral vessels hypoplasia accompanied by migraine. This method has virtually no alternative; it stimulates natural angiogenesis causing collateral and capillary vascularization steadily improving the blood supply of the brain. The effect obtained after the treatment persists for a long time (9 years and longer), it causes regression of migraine, reduces mental disorders, and can improve the patients' quality of life.
