Progressive vascular leukoencephalopathy - what does this mean
Progressive vascular leukoencephalopathy is a type of brain injury caused by a decrease in blood supply to the white matter of the brain. this is caused by the narrowing of the small vessels in the brain, leading to ischemia and subsequent damage to the white matter. this can lead to a variety of neurological symptoms, including cognitive decline, ataxia, and seizures.
What happens during the disease - progressive vascular leukoencephalopathy
Progressive vascular leukoencephalopathy is a rare neurological disorder caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain, leading to a progressive decline in cognitive function. this decrease in blood flow is caused by the narrowing of the blood vessels in the brain, leading to a decrease in oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain. this lack of oxygen and nutrients results in damage to the white matter of the brain, leading to the cognitive decline associated with the disorder.
