The following report presents an additional example of subactue diencephalic angioencephalopathy. The patient, a 68-year-old man, unexplicably withdrawn and asocial throughout his life, presented with an altered mental status of relatively recent onset. His illness was marked by progressive dementia and ended in death within 7 weeks. The neuropathologic findings were essentially identical to those described in the previous case in both their histology and topographic localization within the thalamus. The etiology, pathogenesis, and reason for the localization of this entity are unknown. Nevertheless, the lesion underscores the major role of the thalamus in cognitive function, emotional behavior, and awareness.
以下报告展示了亚急性间脑血管性脑病的另一个病例。患者为一名68岁男性，一生表现为莫名的孤僻和不合群，近期出现精神状态改变。其病情以进行性痴呆为特征，在7周内死亡。神经病理学发现，无论在组织学还是丘脑内的拓扑定位上，本质上都与前一个病例描述的相同。该疾病实体的病因、发病机制和定位原因尚不清楚。然而，该病变强调了丘脑在认知功能、情感行为和意识方面的主要作用。
