Mesiotemporal atrophy in the vascular MR class of converters to dementia of the Alzheimer type. These oblique coronal reformatted T1-weighted images at the level of the anterior parahippocampal gyri are from five vascular type converters; one with arterial windkessel dysfunction and cerebral microangiopathy 9 months before diagnosis of dementia (A), one with arterial windkessel dysfunction and marked cortical atrophy 33 months before diagnosis of dementia (B), one with venous windkessel dysfunction 12 months before the diagnosis of dementia (C), one with resistive MR subtype 24 months before diagnosis of dementia (D), and the last one with a MR pattern of global cerebral hypoperfusion 13 months before diagnosis of dementia (E). There is no disproportionate enlargement of the left rhinal sulcus (long arrows), no marked concavity of the upper limit of the left amygdala region (short arrows), nor marked evidence of left predominance of brain atrophy.
