[Progressive supranuclear ophthalmoplegia (Steele-Richardson-Olszewski)].

Neurological and clinico-laboratory examination (pneumoencephalography, rheoencephalography, computer-aided tomography, neuropsychological tests) of patients with progressive supranuclear ophthalmoplegia as well as the analysis of the literature data made it possible to specify the pathogenesis of the major manifestations of the disease and the localization of a damage to the cerebral structures. The use of vascular, nootropic, antisclerotic drugs and oxygen barotherapy was found to be advisable.
