We have been analyzing a number of patients with cerebral-vascular insult in a period of 1998-2003 year, clinical picture in the time of the reception, the development of the illness, the result and the therapy access in the Neuropsychiatric Department of Health Center in Kosovska Mitrovica. It is concluded that the number of CVI is significantly higher after the NATO bombing, the development of the illness more difficult and a detailed analyses of the causes is in progress. In a period of 01. 01. 1998 until 31. 12. 2003. year, 1829 of patients have been on hospital treatment and 252 of them have been treated from CVI, in the Neuropsychiatric Department of Health in Kosovska Mitrovica. During clinical prospective, retrospective and static research in has been concluded that:in the above mentioned period the number of CVI patients have been increasing in regard to the total number of treated patients in Neuropsychiatric Department of Health Center in Kosovska Mitrovica. The percentage of CVI relapse is increasing(the highest percentage is in 1999). It has been established that besides the well known causes for the occurrence of CVI such as:hypertension, the heart disease, disorders of heart rhythm, endocrine disease(Diabetes mellitus) end also the well known factors of risk for causing of mentioned diseases(corpulence, raised value oh cholesterol in blood, smoking, insufficient physical activity, excessive consuming of alcohol etc). Relevant factor for the occurrence of CVI is the factor of stress, social and territorial isolation of the Serbian population immediate after NATO bombing on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija.
