Increased Intracranial Arterial Pulsatility and Microvascular Brain Damage in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum [NEUROVASCULAR/STROKE IMAGING]

CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum have increased intracranial artery flow pulsatility and measures of small-vessel disease. Carotid siphon calcification might underlie the high prevalence of cerebrovascular disease in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
