A 35‐year‐old housewife suffered from disorders of the central nervous system since 23 years of age. Autopsy revealed multifocal infarcts distributed widely in the cerebrum and cerebellum. The small pial arteries related to infarctions showed proliferation of loose connective tissue in the intlma and of elastic fibers, and hyperplasia of endothelia, by which the arteries were occasionally occluded. It has been difficult to differentiate this condition from arteriosclerosis or other vascular diseases, but the pathological and clinical features have been found to be a little different in some points.
