Abstract

Dilated Virchow Robin (VR) spaces are pial- line fluid filled structures which surround the walls of small penetrating vessels. In a severe form they develop a swiss cheese pattern or a cribriform pattern in straitum which may predispose to cognitive impairment. We report a patient with change in personality associated with diffuse atrophy, hypometabolism, microbleeds and swiss cheese striatum which is rare.

Keywords: Swiss cheese pattern; Dementia; Virchow robin space

Abbreviations: VR: Virchow Robin; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; FLAIR: Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery; CSF: Cerebrospinal Fluid
