  • Title: Subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (Binswanger's disease). A vascular etiology of dementia.
    Author: Burger PC, Burch JG, Kunze U.
    Journal: Stroke; 1976; 7(6):626-31. PubMed ID: 1006740.
    Abstract:
    A 51-yearold man with moderate intermittent hypertension had a rapidly progressive, profound dementia in the absence of significant localizing neurological signs. Postmortem examination disclosed the vascular alterations and diffuse white matter degeneration which characterize subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (SAE) or Binswanger's disease. The case underscores the need to consider vascular disease as an etiology of dementia -- even in the absence of focal neurological deficit.
