Neurofibrillary tangles induced by a sclerosing angioma
Human Pathology
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
A sclerosing angioma in the frontal cortex of a 40 year old woman produced local pressure, with resulting alteration of the blood-brain barrier. In the narrow cortical zone affected by chronic pressure, the level of aluminum was significantly elevated; and all neurons had neurofibrillary tangles of the Alzheimer type.
