Can you tell me about white brain disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you mean white: Matter disease? If so, the most common causes of white matter disease include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cigarette smoking, and a family history of stroke. Of course the differential includes multiple sclerosis which is a predominately white matter disease. I hope this helps. Take care and good health.
