Cerebrovascular diseases

type of intracranial hemorrhage that occurs within the brain tissue itself

bleeding into the subarachnoid space

hematoma usually associated with traumatic brain injury

cerebrovascular disorder

build-up of blood between the dura mater and skull

artery disease that is characterized by dysfunction of the blood vessels supplying the brain

cerebral arterial disease characterized by constriction of certain arteries at the base of the brain; blood flow is blocked by the constriction and also by blood clots

narrowing or constriction of the inner surface (lumen) of the carotid artery, usually caused by atherosclerosis

CADASIL or CADASIL syndrome, involving cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, is the most common form of hereditary stroke disorder and is thought to be caused by mutations of the NOTCH3 gene on chromosome 19. The disease belongs to a family of disorders called the leukodystrophies. The most common clinical manifestations are migraine headaches and transient ischemic attacks or strokes, which usually occur between 40 and 50 years of age, although MRI is able to detect signs of the disease years prior to clinical manifestation of disease.

Lipohyalinosis is a cerebral small vessel disease affecting the small arteries, arterioles or capillaries in the brain. Originally defined by C. Miller Fisher as 'segmental arteriolar wall disorganisation', it is characterized by vessel wall thickening and a resultant reduction in luminal diameter. Fisher considered this small vessel disease to be the result of hypertension, induced in the acute stage by fibrinoid necrosis that would lead to occlusion and hence lacunar stroke. However, recent evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction as a result of inflammation is a more likely cause for
