Summary
In the middle of the nineteenth century, small holes in deep regions in the brain were recognized as widened perivascular spaces (Durand-Fardel: ‘état criblé’). Later researchers (Laborde, Proust, Campbell) reported in these areas some larger cavities with ragged borders, presumably damaged brain tissue (‘lacunes’); these authors did not correlate such lesions with symptoms, and their pathogenesis remained unclear.
