Magnetic Resonance Imaging Cinecisternography in Patients with White Matter Lesions

1. The dynamic changes in ventricular size were computed by MRI cinecisternography. 2. The data analyzed showed that the phasic changes in size of the third ventricle and/or fourth ventricle were reduced in patients with the small multiple infarcts, with dementia, and with enlarged lateral ventricles when compared to subjects without these findings. 3. The derangement in CSF flow dynamics may be involved in the pathogenesis of vascular dementia.
