Abstract

Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) are often observed in small vessel disease on T2-weighted images. However, their role in ischemic conditions caused by cerebral large vessel disease remains unclear. We evaluated EPVS in patients with hemodynamic compromise associated with atherosclerotic large vessel disease and aimed to identify the pathophysiology of EPVS. We examined 28 adults with atherosclerotic large vessel disease. EPVS numbers in the basal ganglia and the centrum semiovale were assessed. For each affected hemisphere, the total numbers of EPVS were compared with those on the unaffected side. EPVS in the impaired hemodynamics group were compared with those in the unimpaired hemodynamics group. Moreover, EPVS were compared in the presence/absence of large stroke. The number of EPVS was significantly increased on the affected side in the centrum semiovale (p = 0.023), particularly in the impaired hemodynamics group (p = 0.006). Moreover, in the small stroke subgroup of the impaired hemodynamics group, the number of EPVS was significantly increased on the affected side (p = 0.002), although this number was insignificant in the large ischemic stroke subgroup. The number of EPVS was increased in patients with atheroscleroti...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Basal Ganglia Cerebrovascular Disease

Basal ganglia cerebrovascular disease is a condition where the blood vessels in the basal ganglia are damaged or malfunction. Discover the latest research on basal ganglia cerebrovascular disease here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
