Cerebral White Matter Changes and Geriatric Syndromes: Is There a Link?

1 Aug 2004

Abstract excerpt

Cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs), also called "leukoaraiosis," are common neuroradiological findings in elderly people. WMLs are often located at periventricular and subcortical areas and manifest as hyperintensities in magnetic resonance imaging. Recent studies suggest that cardiovascular risk factors are associated with the development of WMLs. These lesions are associated with different geriatric syndromes...
