Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by polymorphism of symptoms, including the following syndromes: cognitive disorders, vegetative dysfunction, insomnia, anxiety and depression. The frequency and the structure of chronic fatigue syndrome in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia were the object of this study. 130 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia were estimated to determine the frequency and the structure of chronic fatigue syndrome. The following scales and questionnaires were applied: Visual Analog Scale of fatigue syndrome, Fatigue Score, Mini-Mental State Examination, A.M. Vayne's questionnaire to determine vegetative dysfunction, HADS, the Questionnaire of Dream Estimation, and Vegetative Index Cerdo. High frequencies of chronic fatigue syndrome in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (75%) with prevalence of physical fatigue (85%) upon mental fatigue (65%) were revealed. High frequency of all syndromes that was studied in this research revealed: cognitive disorders (86,92 - light cognitive disorders, 13.08 - absence or moderate cognitive disorders), vegetative dysfunction (95%), insomnia (86%), anxiety (57%) and depression (42%). The revealed peculiarities of structure of chronic fatigue syndrome must be reviewed in treatment of patients with chronic cerebral ischemia.
