multiple subcortical and basal ganglia lacunar infarcts Explanation: This is the clearest way to describe this condition. OR multifocal encephalomalacia, with subcortical and basal ganglia lacunar infarcts (OR involvement) OR: multiple lacunar infracts, involving the subcortical white matter and basal ganglia mutliple lacunar infracts, involving the subcortical and basal ganglia structures (OR areas) multifocal encephalomalacia involving the subcortical (white) matter and basal ganglia Cerebral Infarction = Encephalomalacia) OR multicystic encephalomalacia, with ...
