Case Report Intracortical Infarcts in Small Vessel Disease A Combined 7-T Postmortem MRI and Neuropathological Case Study in Cerebral Autosomal-Dominant Arteriopathy With Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy
Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to report the detection of infarcts of the cerebral cortex in a patient with cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) using high-resolution postmortem 7-T MRI in association with pathological examination. Methods—Whole brain high-resolution MRI data were obtained postmortem at 7 T in...
متن کاملLacunar Infarcts, but Not Perivascular Spaces, Are Predictors of Cognitive Decline in Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral small-vessel disease is a major cause of cognitive impairment. Perivascular spaces (PvS) occur in small-vessel disease, but their relationship to cognitive impairment remains uncertain. One reason may be difficulty in distinguishing between lacunes and PvS. We determined the relationship between baseline PvS score and PvS volume with change in cognition over a 5-...
متن کاملSmall vessel infarcts and microbleeds associated with radiation exposure.
CASE DESCRIPTION Mr. WG, a 51-year-old gentleman was treated with radiotherapy for pontine glioma in 1984. He received 50 Gy over one month in 16 sittings. He remained asymptomatic until 1994 when, aged 37 years, he had his first stroke which caused a right facial weakness. Computed tomogram (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI) brain did not reveal any acute infarct. The CT angiography of th...
متن کاملSmall Vessel Disease: Not a Small Problem
Small infarcts in the subcortical area (lacunar infarction) have been considered a relatively simple condition. In most cases, complications associated with warfarin are not a cause for worry, the superiority of angioplasty or stenting need not be disputed, and performing craniectomy is unnecessary; we simply administer an antihypertensive drug and aspirin. However, small subcortical infarcts a...
متن کاملAsymmetric dimethylarginine in cerebral small vessel disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endothelial dysfunction may play a causal role in cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a circulating endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide, has been implicated in endothelial dysfunction, particularly in hyperhomocystinemia, a known risk factor for SVD. We determined if ADMA was elevated in SVD, correlated with disease severity, and inte...
