An incomplete Circle of Willis is not a risk factor for white matter hyperintensities: The Tromsø Study

2020-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> The Circle of Willis (CoW) is often underdeveloped or incomplete, leading to suboptimal blood supply to the brain. As hypoperfusion is thought to play a role in the aetiology of white matter hyperintensities (WMH), the objective of this study was to assess whether incomplete CoW variants were associated with increased WMH volumes compared to the complete CoW. <h4>Methods</h4> In a cross-sectiona...
