Descriptor arterioesclerosis intracraneal
Entry term(s) arteriosclerosis cerebral
aterosclerosis intracraneal
Scope note: Enfermedades vasculares caracterizadas por engrosamiento y endurecimiento de las paredes de las ARTERIAS del interior del CRÁNEO. Hay tres subtipos: (1) aterosclerosis con depósitos de grasa en la ÍNTIMA ARTERIAL, (2) esclerosis de Monckeberg con depósitos de calcio en la media, y (3) arteriolosclerosis que afecta a las arterias de pequeño calibre. Los signos clínicos son CEFALEA, CONFUSIÓN, ceguera transitoria (AMAUROSIS FUGAZ), trastornos del habla y HEMIPARESIA.

Scope note: Vascular diseases characterized by thickening and hardening of the walls of ARTERIES inside the SKULL. There are three subtypes: (1) atherosclerosis with fatty deposits in the ARTERIAL INTIMA; (2) Monckeberg's sclerosis with calcium deposits in the media and (3) arteriolosclerosis involving the small caliber arteries. Clinical signs include HEADACHE; CONFUSION; transient blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX); speech impairment; and HEMIPARESIS.
