What does leukoencephalopathy mean? Leukoencephalopathy is just an imaging term. Regular MRI scans of the brain will reveal some enhanced abnormal signals in the white matter of the brain. This indicates that there is damage to the old white matter. The specific causes of leukoencephalopathy may be the following: The first factor is age, the older the patient is, for example, patients in their seventies or seventies may show leukoencephalopathy. The second is long-term hypertension, diabetes and smoking patients will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will also cause leukoencephalopathy. The third is brain trauma, which will also cause leukoencephalopathy. Finally, there are some genetic factors that will cause leukoencephalopathy. The above is just scientific knowledge, for your reference only.
