The Time Onset of Post Stroke Dementia
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a population of 1 million inhabitants, 2400 patients will have a stroke every year, of whom fewer than 50% will be independent 1 year later (Hankey & Warlow, 1999). Many independent survivors have residual physical or cognitive deficits, or behavioural changes which can affect family life and have professional consequences (Leys et al. 2002). Post Stroke Dementia (PSD), that includes any dementia after stroke, irrespective of its cause, is therefore a clinical syndrome – and not a disease – and it appears to be one of the main causes of dependency in stroke survivors.

متن کاملFrontal white matter hyperintensities, clasmatodendrosis and gliovascular abnormalities in ageing and post-stroke dementia
White matter hyperintensities as seen on brain T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging are associated with varying degrees of cognitive dysfunction in stroke, cerebral small vessel disease and dementia. The pathophysiological mechanisms within the white matter accounting for cognitive dysfunction remain unclear. With the hypothesis that gliovascular interactions are impaired in subjects with hig...
