Association between Perivascular Spaces and Progression of White Matter Hyperintensities in Lacunar Stroke Patients
OBJECTIVES Perivascular spaces are associated with MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease, including white matter hyperintensities. Although perivascular spaces are considered to be an early MRI marker of cerebral small vessel disease, it is unknown whether they are associated with further progression of MRI markers, especially white matter hyperintensities. We determined the association ...
متن کاملTractography at 3T MRI of Corpus Callosum Tracts Crossing White Matter Hyperintensities.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The impact of white matter hyperintensities on the diffusion characteristics of crossing tracts is unclear. This study used quantitative tractography at 3T MR imaging to compare, in the same individuals, the diffusion characteristics of corpus callosum tracts that crossed white matter hyperintensities with the diffusion characteristics of corpus callosum tracts that did n...
متن کاملEndothelial function and white matter hyperintensities in older adults with cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The presence of white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI is common among elderly individuals. Previous research suggests that cardiovascular risk factors are associated with increased white matter hyperintensities. Examining the role of direct physiological measures of vascular function will help to clarify the vascular mechanisms related to white matter hyperintensitie...
متن کاملLongitudinal MRI shows no cerebral abnormality in chronic fatigue syndrome.
MRI has previously provided conflicting results when used to search for brain abnormalities in sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Eighteen CFS patients and nine healthy volunteers each underwent MRI on two occasions, one year apart. The resulting images were examined for abnormalities in brain atrophy, deep white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid...
متن کاملConfluent thalamic hyperintensities in CADASIL.
BACKGROUND CADASIL is responsible for diffuse hyperintensities in the white matter on FLAIR images. These lesions are often associated with focal lesions in the basal ganglia such as lacunar infarctions. The prevalence and significance of diffuse or confluent thalamic hyperintensities (CTH) remain unknown. METHODS The frequency of hyperintensities on FLAIR images in the thalamus was assessed ...
