Widespread Dilatation of Perivascular Spaces:A Leukoencephalopathy Causing Dementia Neurol 48:1310-1313, Vital,C.&Julien,J., 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A 68-year-old demented woman had widespread dilatation of perivascular spaces in the cerebral white matter for at least 12 years.There were no micro-infarcts,but some vessel walls in the white matter were thickened by a loose fibrosis.Our case does not correspond to Binswanger's disease or any other known vascular leukoencephalopathy.The longstanding evolution points to a nonfamilial leukoencephalopathy of probable vascular origin.
