The aim of the current study is to compare the prevalence, severity and location of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) between patients with panic disorder (PD) and healthy control subjects. Patients with PD (n = 24) and matched healthy control subjects (n = 24) were scanned using a 3.0 Tesla whole-body magnetic resonance scanner. Axial T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images were acquired and evaluated for the prevalence, severity and location of WMH using the… 
The impact of periventricular white matter lesions in patients with bipolar disorder type I
TLDR
Impaired insight in BD-I is associated with periventricular WMHs, and the early identification ofBD-I subjects with PWMHs and impaired insight may be crucial for clinicians.
Cerebral White Matter Lesions and Affective Episodes Correlate in Male Individuals with Bipolar Disorder
TLDR
WML-load strongly correlated with the number of manic episodes in male BD patients, suggesting that men might be more vulnerable to mania in the context of cerebral white matter changes.
T2 hyperintensity of medial lemniscus is an indicator of small-vessel disease.
TLDR
Evaluated medial lemniscus hyperintensity seen on FLAIR images is a reliable radiologic marker of advanced small-vessel disease.

White matter hyperintensities in subjects with bipolar disorder
TLDR
The current study confirms the higher prevalence of WMH in subjects with bipolar disorder and differences of small‐sized WMH abnormalities between groups were successfully detected using a large number of bipolar subjects and thinner sliced MR images with FLAIR.
Increased white matter hyperintensities in male methamphetamine abusers.
White matter hyperintensity signals in psychiatric and nonpsychiatric subjects.
TLDR
These results do not support previous findings of greater prevalence of hyperintensity signals in bipolar disorder and older age is an indirect risk factor for the presence of white matter hypertensity signals, probably as a result of vascular changes associated with concurrent medical illnesses.
White matter hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in children with psychiatric disorders.
TLDR
An increased prevalence and severity of WMH is reported in children with bipolar disorder, unipolar depression, and conduct disorder/attention deficit disorder relative to the comparison group and in childrenwith bipolar disorder compared to those with schizophrenia.
T2 hyperintensities in bipolar disorder: magnetic resonance imaging comparison and literature meta-analysis.
TLDR
Having bipolar I disorder significantly increases the chance of having white matter changes in the brain, and bipolar II patients may be more similar than bipolar I patients to comparison subjects on T2 measures, according to a meta-analysis of the pooled data in the literature on bipolar illness and signal hyperintensities.
Migraine as a risk factor for subclinical brain lesions.
TLDR
These population-based findings suggest that some patients with migraine with and without aura are at increased risk for subclinical lesions in certain brain areas.
White matter hyperintensity progression and late-life depression outcomes.
TLDR
Greater progression of WMH volume is associated with poor outcomes in geriatric depression and future work is needed to develop means of slowing the rate ofWMH progression and to determine whether this will lead to improved depression outcomes in elderly persons.
