Prevalence, volume, and clinical correlates of intracranial arteriosclerosis among patients with cognitive complaints: a clinic‐based study [PDF]
Abstract Background Intracranial arteriosclerosis increases the risk of dementia in the general population, but no published studies have determined its clinical value for the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment in a memory clinic setting.

Intracranial arteriosclerosis and the risk of dementia: A population‐based cohort study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The impact of intracranial arteriosclerosis on dementia remains largely unclear. METHODS: In 2339 stroke-free and dementia-free participants (52.2% women, mean age 69.5 years) from the general population, we assessed intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) and vertebrobasilar artery calcification (VBAC) as proxy for ...

Intracranial carotid arteriosclerosis and their prognosis in intracerebral hemorrhage. [PDF]
Abstract Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a manifestations of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease, and the survivors are predisposed to higher long-term risks of vascular events. Intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC), a potential marker for arteriosclerosis, is a risk ...

Ventriculomegaly without elevated intracranial pressure? Normal pressure hydrocephalus as a disorder of the cerebral windkessel [PDF]
ObjectiveNormal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by ventriculomegaly without elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP). One way of viewing hydrocephalus is as a disorder of the cerebral windkessel.
