Cerebral vascular pathology can appear as vessel narrowing or dilation, abnormal vascular connections, aneurysms, or stroke-related changes. In some cases, vascular pathology may lead to areas of restricted blood flow or abnormal vessel permeability, which can be visualized on imaging studies like CT or MRI scans. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) may also be used to specifically evaluate the anatomy and blood flow within the cerebral vessels.
