Leukoaraiosis is a particular abnormal change in appearance of white matter near the lateral ventricles. It is often seen in aged individuals, but sometimes in young adults. [1] [2] On MRI, leukoaraiosis changes appear as white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in T2 FLAIR images.

2023年11月5日 · Leukoaraiosis is a term used to describe small, white areas that appear on brain scans around the lateral ventricles. These are seen on CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These areas are not actual tumors or lesions, but rather represent changes in the brain’s white matter.

2024年1月30日 · White matter disease, or leukoaraiosis, means there is damage to white matter in the brain. It can lead to problems with thinking, problem solving, balance, and other symptoms.

White matter disease is an umbrella term for damage to your brain’s white matter caused by reduced blood flow to the tissue. It can cause issues with memory, balance and mobility. People who have risk factors for cardiovascular disease also have a greater risk of developing white matter disease. What is white matter disease?

2023年8月28日 · Leukoaraiosis is a disease or condition in which the white matter of the brain is damaged. The term “leukoaraiosis” is derived from the two Greek words, “leuko” meaning white and “araios”, meaning rarefied.

2018年9月29日 · White matter disease, or leukoaraiosis, causes white matter in the brain to decline. It can cause issues with balance and mood changes, among other symptoms. It gets worse over time.

leukoaraiosis (from the Greek leuko, white, and araiosis, rarefaction) was introduced in 1986 by Hachinski, Potter and Merskey to designate bilateral and symmetrical areas in the periventricular and centrum semiovale white matter that appeared hypodense on CT scans and hyperin-tense on T2-weighted MRI.1,2 Leukoaraiosis was supposed to be “a neut...

2021年4月20日 · Experts say such spots, called white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) or leukoaraiosis, can be a sign that you are at risk for certain illnesses, depending on how many spots you have, their size and location in your brain, and your age.

Leukoaraiosis (LA) manifests as cerebral white matter hyperintensities on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans and corresponds to white matter lesions or abnormalities in brain tissue. Clinically, it is generally detected in the early 40s and is highly prevalent globally in individuals aged >60 years.

Leukoaraiosis (from the Greek: leuko=white and araiosis=rarefaction) is a term given to areas of white matter low attenuation (WMLA) in the brain. Refers to bilateral and either patchy or diffuse areas of hypodensity on CT or hyperintensity on T2-weighted MRI.
