Due to its complex etio\u00adpathogenesis and clinical relevance, leukoaroisosis has been investigated in a multitude of studies. As regards the clinical implications of leukoaraiosis, this neuroimaging finding is strongly related to ischaemic stroke, unfavourable course of ischaemic stroke in the acute phase, worse long-term outcomes, and cognitive disturbances. The morpholo\u00adgical changes in the deep white matter that are collectively described as leukoaraiosis, despite a seemingly homogenous appearance, probably resulting from various causes, such as atherosclerosis, neurotoxic factors including radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and neuroinfections. Based on our experience and recent literature, we present the symptomatology of leukoaroisosis and similar radiological abnormalities of the cerebral white matter.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5114\/pjr.2018.74344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,5]],"date-time":"2018-07-05T06:13:22Z","timestamp":1530771202000},"page":"76-81","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Leukoaraiosis \u2013 new concepts and modern imaging"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Marta","family":"Marek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Horyniecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Fr\u0105czek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewa","family":"Kluczewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1135925","unstructured":"Zagrajek MM, Pokryszko-Dragan A.
