Abstract

Acute cerebrovascular disease is one of the most frequent causes of mortality and morbidity in patients on long-term hemodialysis therapy. Early recognition of cerebrovascular events improves the prognosis and quality of life of end-stage renal failure patients. This paper reviews the magnetic resonance imaging features of acute neurological findings in patients with end-stage renal failure.
