Hemispheric Differences in XXXX in @entity1 with Carotid Artery Stenosis: A Systematic Review.

@entity1 @entity64 @entity66 @entity303 @entity2998 @entity10334 @entity62 @entity204 @entity5084 @entity543
PURPOSE: Despite the prevalence of @entity10334 in neuroimaging and its link to @entity303 , @entity64 , and @entity204 , the exact pathogenesis is still unclear. While some have postulated a link between @entity2998 and @entity10334 , the exact relationship between the two common clinical findings is unknown. To determine the link between @entity66 and @entity10334 , we performed a systematic review of interhemispheric differences in @entity62 in @entity1 with @entity2998 . METHODS: We performed a comprehensive literature search in multiple electronic databases evaluating the association of carotid artery and @entity62 using both subjective and volumetric assessment of white matter burden. The included studies examined @entity1 with at least 30   % @entity543 for white matter burden both ipsilateral and contralateral to the site of @entity2998 . RESULTS: Of the 2920 manuscripts screened, five were included in the systematic review. One study used a volumetric analysis of the white matter burden and the others used various subjective methods. Four studies found no statistically significant relationship between carotid @entity62 and one study found a significantly higher amount of @entity62 ipsilateral to @entity543 . CONCLUSIONS: The mixed results in degree of @entity10334 in @entity1 with @entity2998 indicate that no definite relationship can be established based on the existing literature. Given the complex nature of @entity2998 , including increased risk with certain plaque components, the exact relationship requires further investigation with more @entity5084 .
