Demetia with Leucoaraiosis and Dural Arteriovenous Malformation:Clinical and PET Case Study JNNP 56:929-931, Nencini,P.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A case of rapidly progressive dementia with diffuse leucoaraiosis on CT was attributable to a supratentorial dural arteriovenous malformation. Positron emission tomography(PET)showed low cerebral blood flow and high oxygen extraction ratio throughout the cerebral hemispheres indicating a state of chronic hemodynamic compromise which could predispose to the development of a vascular dementia.CT images of dilated intracerebral veins suggested that a venous drainage overload rather than a vascular steal phenomenon might be involved in the pathophysiology of the dementia of vascular origin.
