Current Concepts of Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke Periventricular Lesions on MRI Facts and Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patchy subcortical lesions are frequently identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in the elderly.On computed tomography (CT) these lesions appear as periventricular zones of lucency and have been termed "leuko-araiosis" by Hachinski and colleagues. Despite limited knowledge of the pathological correlates of the lesions, there has been speculation about their nature, pathophysiology, and clinical significance.

The Optimization of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pulse Sequences in Order to Better Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Plaques
Background and objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive technique to detect multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques in central nervous system. In some cases, the patients who were suspected to MS, Whereas MRI images are normal, but whether patients don’t have MS plaques or MRI images are not enough optimized enough in order to show MS plaques? The aim of the current study is ...

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has improved the diagnosis and management of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief, sensitive test that has been recommended by National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke and Canadian Stroke Network (NINDS-CSN) as a reliable tool to detect mild cognitive impairments. This study aimed to eva...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Exaggerated blood pressure (BP) responses to mental stress, an index of autonomic dysregulation, have been related to enhanced risk for stroke. This study examined cross-sectional relations of stress-induced BP reactivity to silent cerebrovascular disease assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in healthy older adults. METHODS Sixty-seven nondemented, community-dwe...

Background: C.V.A is an important health problem. Efforts to reduce the incidence of C.V.A are essential and such attempts should be based on the knowledge of risk factors. In this study C.V.A risk factors were evaluated. Materials and Methods: We used a case control method. The cases comprised of 146 patients admitted to stroke unit with acute stroke. The controls comprised of 147 particip...
متن کاملPeriventricular white matter lucencies relate to low vitamin B12 levels in patients with small vessel stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Blood-brain barrier dysfunction may be an early phenomenon in the development of the small vessel disease, which underlies white matter lesions. Because vitamin B12 plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, we studied serum vitamin B12 level in relation to such lesions. METHODS In 124 patients with first lacunar stroke, we measured serum vita...
