Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is an interesting cause of stroke. Unlike atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation, the 2 other most common ischemic stroke etiologies, in patients with SVD, the brain undergoes changes leading to white matter hyperintensities (WMH), lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds...
Small-vessel disease Brain Ischemic stroke Hemorrhage Vascular dementia 1. Anatomy of cerebral small vessels Small blood vessels include arterioles, capillaries, and venules [1]. They are found ubiquitously throughout the human body, including the brain and heart [2]. These small vessels have been...
small vessel disease may be partially responsible for the observed increased stroke risk in patients with COPD. Microbleeds occurring in strictly lobar brain sites which are indicative of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, were not differentially affected, suggesting that COPD might be less involved in beta-...
The study included patients aged 46–70 years with cognitive and other neurological complaints, such as gait and balance problems, mood disorders or residual symptoms after stroke, brain changes on MRI corresponded to CSVD (WMH, lacunae, enlarged perivascular spaces, microbleeds and cerebral atrophy)...
Stroke– Strokes that involve the brain stem may cause abnormally constricted pupils or dilated pupils. Other symptoms ofbrainstem strokemay includediplopia(double vision), dizziness, severe balance problems and slurred speech. Syphilis –Late-stagesyphiliscan cause a condition known asArgyll Robertson pu...
Hailey Bieber revealed in a YouTube video that the stroke she suffered earlier this year was caused by congenital hole in her heart.

Seven days after initial symptoms, she developed decreased responsiveness, rigidity, dilated pupils, disc edema, and bilateral Babinski signs. MRI revealed meningeal enhancement, right parietal and left thalamic signal abnormality, and diffuse edema involving the cortex, thalamus, and brain stem. CSF ...
The findings published inBrainsuggest that traumatic microbleeds are a form of injury to brain blood vessels and may predict worse outcomes. The study was conducted in part by scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of theNational Institutes...
CT- perfusion will be focused on the anterior circulation or posterior circulation depending on the suspected loca- tion of the ischemic stroke as determined by the treat- ing physician. For follow-up imaging, all patients will undergo an MRI of the brain at 24 h (range: 12 to 48 h). ...
