Pericallosal artery atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries in the brain become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque. This can lead to various health issues, including stroke and cognitive impairment. In this article, we’ll delve into the causes, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, and preventive measures for pericallosal artery atherosclerosis, explained in simple terms for better understanding.

Pericallosal artery atherosclerosis occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the brain’s pericallosal region develop atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque, which consists of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, on the artery walls. Over time, this plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, reducing blood flow to the brain.

Types of Pericallosal Artery Atherosclerosis:

There are no specific types of pericallosal artery atherosclerosis. However, it is categorized based on the severity of narrowing or blockage in the arteries.
