Lack of association of white matter lesions with ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

White matter lesions (WML) are commonly seen on brain MRI and are generally considered a marker of tissue damage from cerebral small vessel disease. WML are associated with increasing age and vascular risk factors, but their precise cause is unknown. A role for carotid artery atherothromboemboli has been suggested. If this is the case, more WML would be expected ipsilateral to increasing degrees of carotid stenosis.
