What is the commonly used medical term in the US that is equivalent to
"discirculatory encephalopathy"?  The term "discirculatory
encephalopathy" is often used in russian medical journals.

Dear eximius-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. You will see in this translated Russian document the correct
spelling of the term ?dyscirculatory encephalopathy?. I have seen many
translated references to the spelling beginning with ?dis?? rather
than ?dys?? so in Russian documents you will commonly find it spelled
both ways. The correct translated spelling however is ?dyscirculatory
encephalopathy?.

DYSCIRCULATORY ENCEPHALOPATHY

In the United States this condition is known by a variety of names
depending upon the stage of the disease, the origin of the disease and
the magnitude of the disease. Here are some names the condition is
known by in the west:

SUBCORTICAL ARTERIOSCLEROTIC ENCEPHALOPATHY (SAE)
(You will also see this condition name on the same page above and you
will note that it is also misspelled on the page. I have corrected it
here for you.)

BINSWANGER'S ENCEPHALOPATHY 

MULTI-INFARCT DEMENTIA, BINSWANGER'S TYPE 

SUBCORTICAL DEMENTIA 

VASCULAR DEMENTIA, BINSWANGER'S TYPE 

SUBCORTICAL ISCHEMIC VASCULAR DISEASE

The Russian translated term ?Dyscirculatory encephalopathy? appears to
be a rather generic, "catch-all" term for the condition and related
conditions regardless of categorization such as magnitude, origin,
etc., much like the term "hardening of the arteries" is used generally
in the US to describe the many manifestations of the condition known
as arteriosclerosis.
