ABSTRACT
Several types of cerebrovascular lesions are associated with cognitive decline, but the role of each type in dementia manifestation has yet to be determined. One of the greatest barriers of conducting clinico pathological studies in vascular dementia concerns the overlapping of nomenclature for these lesions. The aim of the present review was to discuss current nomenclature for cerebrovascular lesions and suggest modifications to allow better diagnostic reproducibility in this .
RESUMO
Diversas lesões cerebrovasculares estão associadas à perda cognitiva. Entretanto ainda não se conhece qual a contribuição exata dessas lesões para os quadros demenciais. Um dos maiores empecilhos para estudos de correlação clinicopatológica em demências vasculares é a heteregeonidade de termos usados para definir essas lesões. A presente revisão discute a nomenclatura neuropatológica atual para lesões cerebrovasculares e sugere alternativas para melhorar a acurácia e reprodutividade do diagnóstico das mesmas.
