Is microanglopathy of the brain similar to leukoencephalopathy of the brain. what is the pathology of microanglopathy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small blood vessels: LE is the MRI finding and is a more general term than MA or sometimes called white matter disease. Microangiopathy is damage to the capillaries (small blood vessels) in the brain, and can be caused by high blood pressure, smoking, migraines, and genetic predisposition. 81 mg aspirin and watching blood pressure can help prevent it from getting worse
