The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by cerebral atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries):
Eyes and eye appendages (H00-H59).
- Visual disturbances up to amaurosis (blindness).
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99)
- Apoplexy (stroke)
- Cerebral arterial disease (cAVD): TIA (transient ischemic attack), PRIND (prologue reversible ischemic neurologic deficit), apoplexy
Psyche – Nervous System (F00-F99; G00-G99).
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA) – sudden onset of circulatory disturbance in the brain leading to neurologic dysfunction that resolves within 24 hours.
