Article Synopsis
- A 54-year-old woman experienced five strokes over two years due to infectious arteritis affecting her internal carotid and basilar arteries, stemming from sphenoiditis and otitis.
- Neuroimaging showed a gradual narrowing and eventual occlusion of the internal carotid artery, complicated by an extracranial occlusion marked by a "flame sign."
- The accurate diagnosis was only made after three years, highlighting the need for considering infectious arteritis in diagnosing carotid artery occlusions, as early misdiagnosis delayed necessary antibiotic treatment and led to further strokes.
[Disruption of corpus callosum microstructural integrity by diffusion MRI as a predictor of progression of cerebral microangiopathy].

November 2023
Objective: To assess the microstructural integrity of the corpus callosum in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) using signal and biophysical diffusion MRI models and to identify the most sensitive markers of disease progression.
Material And Methods: Diffusion MRI (3 Tesla) was performed in 166 patients (51.8% women; mean age 60.
[Nitric oxide availability in cerebral microangiopathy].

September 2023
Objective: To develop a test of individual nitric oxide (NO) availability based on changes in erythrocyte rheological properties after incubation with a NO donor and to evaluate the role of these disorders in brain damage and development of cognitive impairment (CI) in cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD).
Material And Methods: In 73 cSVD patients (48 (65.8%) women, mean age 60.
