... the brain and its vessels more susceptible to unique vascular pathologies. To highlight these differences, we use our knowledge of five diseases and syndromes that most commonly manifest in the intracranial vasculature. For each, we identify characteristics of the intracranial arteries that make them...

... impairment. Our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of LS is largely based on the meticulous postmortem work of C. Miller Fisher in the late 1960s, with scarce subsequent pathological analysis of the “lacunar hypothesis” and no reliable approaches for direct in vivo imaging of the small...

... = 0.009) infarct pathology. Another diabetes susceptibility locus ( rs12779790 ) located between the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase ID (CAMK1D) and cell division cycle 123 homolog (CDC123) genes is also associated with both macroscopic (OR = 1.40, p = 0.0292) and microscopic infarcts...

... a systematic review in an attempt to characterize the pathological and radiological correlation. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted for studies in which CMBs were characterized histopathologically and correlated with MRI findings. Results: Five studies met the inclusion criteria...

... ]. It is therefore likely that variability in histological interpretation causes some of the disagreement between imaging and pathology of carotid plaque. Indeed, any agreement between imaging and pathology can be no greater than the intra-observer reproducibility of the pathology assessment itself. Therefore, we...

.... Subcortical infarction Pathology Thrombosis Striatocapsular infarction is a large infarct involving the territory of the lateral striate arteries (LSAs) branching from the middle cerebral artery (MCA), sparing the overlying cortex [ 1, 2, 3 ]. Although striatocapsular infarction has been extensively...

...Jagdish C. Sharma; Sally Fletcher; Michael Vassallo Aim: Stroke is common in older people. The objective of the study was to determine if older stroke patients have a higher mortality and disability compared with younger patients for comparable stroke severity and pathology and whether...
