Introduction: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) has a heterogenous clinical and radiological presentation. We investigated whether RCVS complications vary according to age.
Patients And Methods: In a pooled French cohort of 345 patients with RCVS, we assessed (1) rates of clinical and radiological complications, and (2) the functional outcome at 3 months according to age as a continuous variable, and in young patients aged ≤ 49 years versus those aged ≥ 50 years.
Background: Retinal microvascular changes have been previously associated with cerebral MRI markers of small vessel disease (SVD). Whether retinal changes differ between patient with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and patients with lacunar infarction (LI) caused by small vessel disease has been poorly investigated.
Objective: The study aims to compare the frequency of retinal changes between patients with LI and patients with ICH at the acute stage of stroke-related SVD.
Aims: This study aimed to assess the relationship between blood pressure and cognitive function in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods: A total of 32 patients with DM aged ≥ 65 years (seven women and 25 men; mean ± SD age: 74.3 ± 6.
Introduction: Cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy in patients suffering from severe head injury often leads to a functional improvement although, to date, the pathophysiology of this phenomenon remains unclear. A few hypotheses have been proposed. The impact of cranioplasty on cerebral perfusion could be one explanation.

Methods: A door-to-door survey was performed in two districts of Cotonou with a broad socioeconomic range.
