Abstract
- Non-specific periventricular white matter lucencies on computed tomography(leukoaraiosis) were found in 130(40%) of 324 patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. Patients with leukoaraiosis were significantly older than those without it and correlated with hypertension and lacunar infarction but not with cortical infarction. In patients with hemorrhage, leukoaraiosis occurred sinigificantly more often when aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation were not demonstrated. Our fiindings suggest that leukoaraiosis in cerebrovascular disease is associated with small vessel disease.
