Diffuse Tract Damage in the Hemispheric Deep White Matter May Correlate with Global Cognitive Impairment and Callosal Atrophy in Patients with Extensive Leukoaraiosis

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with extensive leukoaraiosis are at high risk for vascular dementia. However, these patients exhibit variable severity of global cognitive impairment correlating with callosal atrophy. We hypothesized that callosal atrophy may reflect the severity of HDWM tract damag...
