Temporal Horn, White

[Music] I'm dr. mess key chair of the department of neurology at Mayo Clinic Florida and I'll be talking about the severity of white matter hyper intensities and effects on all cause mortality in the Mayo Clinic Florida cerebrovascular diseases registry the takeaway message of this article is that a common finding on brain MRI known as white matter hyper intensities actually has a significant impact on the likelihood of survival over the next several years traditionally these abnormalities have been thought to be incidental findings meaning not of particular clinical significance but it turns out that we found for a very diverse population they really had some association with risk of death over the coming years why that is is not known or directly answered in the study but it may have something to do with the effects on cognition balance and related disorders in other organ systems rel
