What does it mean when the walls of cerebral arteries are less than smooth and stiff?

Cerebral arterial wall opacification and stiffness mean that cerebral atherosclerosis may be present.
Cerebral arterial wall irregularity and stiffness is a descriptor of cerebral arterial atherosclerosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is a disease that can lead to a decrease in cerebral blood flow, secondary to parenchymal damage resulting in extensive cerebral dysfunction, which can lead to a wide range of cerebral neurological dysfunction symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, lethargy, lack of concentration, memory loss, and so on.
When this condition is detected, professional physicians should be consulted and intervention and treatment should be carried out under their guidance, such as controlling hypertension, diabetes mellitus and other related risk factors, in order to avoid the occurrence of cerebral infarction and other adverse prognosis.
