Figure 1

Virchow–Robin spaces (VRS) in axial images in the brain of a control subject. Multi-planar reconstruction constructive interference in steady state (CISS) images: VRS in the basal ganglia (a) were round and irregularly sized (small arrows). Enlarged VRS sometimes could be seen as oval pools (arrowheads) in the lower part of the basal ganglia. In the white matter of the periventricular region (b), semioval center (c) and subcortical region (d), VRS were round (small arrows) or tubular (large arrows), and homogeneously sized; observation in an 80-year-old woman.
