| Popis: | The perivascular spaces in the brain,called Virchow Robin spaces, are well-defined spaces filled with interstitial fluid accompanying the arteries and arterioles perforating the brain parenchyma. Normally 1 to 2 mm, these spaces can be seen in healthy individuals at almost any age and are usually asymptomatic. When they expand, they may cause different clinical characteristics depending on their localization and frequency. The enlarged giant Virchow-Robin spaces have been associated with hydrocephalus, small vessel diseases, and other neuropsychiatric disorders, but the causes associated with vascular parkinsonism and subcortical dementia are very rare. In this article, we present secondary vascular parkinsonism and subcortical dementia due to multilobule cystic giant Virchow-Robin spaces. |
