attenuation of brain white matter lesions after lacunar stroke
white matter lesions (wmls) are commonly observed in strokepatients with small vessel disease (svd) and are thought toresult from a progressive, irreversible disease process followingarteriolosclerosis. in this study, we report a case of partialdisappearance of wmls 1 year after a lacunar stroke in a69-year-old man with evidence of svd. we also discuss possiblemechanisms associated with this ob...

White matter lesions (WMLs) are commonly observed in stroke patients with small vessel disease (SVD) and are thought to result from a progressive, irreversible disease process following arteriolosclerosis. In this study, we report a case of partial disappearance of WMLs 1 year after a lacunar stroke in a 69-year-old man with evidence of SVD. We also discuss possible mechanisms associated with t...
متن کاملWhite-matter hyperintensities in first-episode psychosis
BACKGROUND White-matter hyperintensities have been associated with both schizophrenia and mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, but results are inconsistent across studies. AIMS To examine whether white-matter hyperintensities are a vulnerability marker for psychosis or are specifically associated with bipolar disorder. METHOD T(2)-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data were acqu...
متن کاملImaging of white matter lesions.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very sensitive for the detection of white matter lesions (WML), which occur even in normal ageing. Intrinsic WML should be separated from physiological changes in the ageing brain, such as periventricular caps and bands, and from dilated Virchow-Robin spaces. Genuine WML are best seen with T2-weighted sequences such as long TR dual-echo spin-echo or FLAIR (fl...
متن کاملCerebral white matter lesions, retinopathy, and stroke.
and Stroke To the Editor: I read with interest the study by Vermeer and colleagues1 on the risk of stroke associated with MRI-defined white matter lesions (WML) in the Rotterdam Scan Study. As cerebral MRI becomes a routine diagnostic test for widening indications of neurological disorders, this study provides further data on the clinical significance of these lesions in asymptomatic elderly pe...
