Intravascular lymphomatosis presenting with sudden hearing loss.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hippocampal atrophy is an early feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) but it has also been reported in vascular dementia (VaD). It is uncertain whether hippocampal size can help differentiate the two disorders. METHODS:We assessed 90 stroke/TIA patients 3-6 months after the event, and 75 control subjects, wit...
