Conclusions: This is the first series to demonstrate convincingly the presence of TWs in patients with WMD in the absence of commonly cited risk factors. The authors hypothesize that less recognized risk factors of WMD and mild metabolic or infectious abnormalities may be drivers of TWs. With a growing elderly population, the presence of WMD will increase, and treating physicians need to look beyond the common causes of TWs.
