Abstract
Binswanger disease may benefit from omental arteries.

Dear Sir, It is rare that a limited medical article written years earlier will have potential clinical significance a quarter of a century later
It became evident that Binswanger disease and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can both lead eventually to dementia, the diseases are completely different in their pathological conditions involving the deliverance of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to brain tissue
There is presently increasing consideration that in AD, it is not the death of neurons that cause a decrease in the level of CBF, but it is the decrease in CBF that slowly leads to the death of critical cerebral neurons
Summary
University of California, Davis Clinical Professor of Neurological Surgery P.O. Bo 493, Glenbrook, NV 89413, California, USA. Dear Sir, It is rare that a limited medical article written years earlier will have potential clinical significance a quarter of a century later. This situation could prove possible in the future treatment of Binswanger disease, a form of dementia that is considered progressive with no cure. Binswanger disease is completely different from AD, in that it is not a decrease in CBF that eventually leads to dementia, but it is excessive arteriosclerosis in cerebral arteries that narrows the lumen of the arteries causing a restriction of CBF flowing through the vessels supplying the subcortical areas of the brain. Omental arteries seen in cadavers were consistently found to be soft and pliable with no evidence
