What's The Definition Of The Medical Condition Basal Ganglia Vascular Disease?

Infarction, hemorrhage, ischemia, or hypoxia of any component of the BASAL GANGLIA of the brain. Clinical manifestations may include involuntary or dyskinetic movements and hemiparesis (secondary to involvement of the INTERNAL CAPSULE).

Hemorrhages in this region are associated with hypertension, but may also result from the rupture of vascular malformations.
