We report the case of a 66-year-old female who presented with dysarthria and dysphonia. Brain MRI abnormalities showed confluent white matter lesions and subcortical lacunar infarcts, suggesting cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL),
OBJECTIVE
Recent studies indicate that Notch3 gene mutations not only manifest as cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) but also in the peripheral nerves and skeletal muscles.
METHODS
A MEDLINE search with appropriate terms was carried
OBJECTIVE
To underline the importance of blood pressure regulation in cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and to describe changes that occur in the veins in this condition, specifically venous collagenosis associated with
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is one of the two most common cerebral arteriopathies seen in the brains of elderly patients. The other is arteriosclerosis (AS), historically considered a consequence of chronic hypertension and also described as lipohyalinosis (LH), a clinicopathologic association
A possible relation between cerebral white-matter injury and dementia was intuitively attributed by Alzheimer to changes affecting the small penetrating vessels that supply the cerebral white matter. Several observations support the view that white-matter changes detectable by neuroimaging may
The chapter describes the epidemiology of cerebrovascular diseases, anatomy of the cerebral blood vessels, pathophysiology of ischemia, hypoxia, hypoxemia, anemic hypoxia, histotoxic hypoxia, carbon monoxide damage, hyperoxid brain damage and decompression sickness, and selective cell and regional
