Could cerebrovascular disease be a Parkinson link?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: My husband age 70 had a tia 16 years ago - not dx immediately. His MRI shows cerebrovascular disease , small vessel disease and mild cognitive impairment which is thought to be organic and not psychiatric. This is all being dx as old age!! He has also been dx as possible change in behaviour and personality due to fronto subcortical white matter change. I have known him for 47 years. I thought it could be bv/ftd but as his brother has Parkinsons I now wonder if there could be a Parkinson s link.

Condition analysis:
Let me tell you that in neurology practice, the MRI data must be correlated with clinical findings. It is the clinical data that is of paramount importance rather than MRI data. This MRI findings can be seen in patients with hypertension, diabetes also. So we stress upon the disease that clinically evolves over a time. Further the symptoms that mark the onset of illness is very important in these neurological disorder. Parkinson's disease manifests as tremor, tightness of body, slowness of walking. The classic Parkinson's disease doesn't start with behavioral problem. Even though, the risk of Parkinson's disease in your husband is high due to family history, the current presentation is odd for the same. A possibility of front-temporal or vascular dementia is likely
Please get evaluated by a local neurologist.

Instructions:
1) Eat Whole Grains:
Eating whole grains will supply the body with vitamin E, which is known to improve circulation.

2) Fruits and Vegetables:
Researchers have found that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables can both prevent and treat a stroke. Ample consumption also helps reduce the damage of a stroke. One Cambridge University study discovered that elderly people who ate large quantities of fresh green vegetables and fresh fruits were less likely to die of strokes.
