Hypertensive leukoencephalopathy is a medical condition that affects the white matter of the brain. This condition is often associated with high blood pressure and can lead to a range of symptoms including headaches, dizziness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. While there are no specific synonyms for hypertensive leukoencephalopathy, it can be described as cerebral small vessel disease, leukoaraiosis, or white matter hyperintensities. These terms are used to refer to a similar condition in which the small blood vessels in the brain become damaged, leading to changes and damage in the white matter. Individual diagnosis and management of the condition is important in order to prevent or reduce the risk of complications.
