Abstract:Leukoaraiosis is a neuroimaging marker of small-vessel disease that is characterized by high signal intensity on Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) MRI. There is increasing evidence from pathology and neuroimaging suggesting that the structural abnormalities which characterize leukoaraiosis are actually present within regions of normal-appearing white matter (NAWM), and that the underlying pathophysiology of white matter damage related to small-vessel disease involves blood-brain barrier damage.
