Extent and Distribution of White Matter Hyperintensities in Stroke Patients
Background and Purpose—White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) on T2-weighted MRI are common in stroke patients and healthy elderly individuals. The detailed anatomical distribution of these lesions in stroke patients has not been examined. Methods—A total of 112 stroke or transient ischemic attack patients and 87 matched control subjects from the Sydney Stroke Study underwent MRI scans that inclu...
متن کاملMTI of white matter hyperintensities.
The severity of tissue changes associated with incidental white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in the elderly cannot be sufficiently determined by conventional MRI. We, therefore, performed a regional analysis of the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) maps obtained on a 1.5 T scanner from 198 neurologically asymptomatic participants of the Austrian Stroke Prevention Study (mean age 70, age range...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities in migraine
Case-control studies showed that migraine is associated with ischemic stroke. Studies assessing the prevalence of white matter lesions (WML) in migraine however, reported conflicting results, possibly attributable to selection bias by recruiting only severe cases. We conducted a population-based MRI study of migraineurs with aura (N=161), migraineurs without aura (N=134) and controls (N=140), 3...
متن کاملWhite Matter Hyperintensities Relate to Clinical Progression in Subjective Cognitive Decline.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In patients with subjective cognitive decline, we assessed whether small vessel disease was associated with clinical progression and cognitive decline. METHODS We included 334 patients with subjective cognitive decline. Follow-up was 3±2 years. RESULTS Fifty-three (16%) patients progressed clinically to mild cognitive impairment or dementia. White matter hyperintensit...
متن کاملSevere cerebral white matter hyperintensities predict severe cognitive decline in patients with cerebrovascular disease history.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are believed to be the consequence of small vessel disease, and it is uncertain whether their extent predicts the risk of dementia in patients with vascular disease history. Method- Brain MRI was performed in 226 participants of the PROGRESS study. WMH severity was assessed using a visual rating scale. During follow-up, patien...
