Abstract :
White matter lesions (WMLs) are commonly observed in stroke
patients with small vessel disease (SVD) and are thought to
result from a progressive, irreversible disease process following
arteriolosclerosis. In this study, we report a case of partial
disappearance of WMLs 1 year after a lacunar stroke in a
69-year-old man with evidence of SVD. We also discuss possible
mechanisms associated with this observation.
