Abstract
The computed tomography (CT) scans in 1.6% of patients with cerebral atrophy showed the additional feature of areas of reduced attenuation in the deep cerebral white matter. Analysis of the clinical data showed a significant association with both hypertension and dementia. Etat criblé in vascular hypertension is suggested as the possible cause.
