Functional activation by visual stimulation was chosen to examine the vertebro-basilar diathesis of Fabry disease.
Previously, in Fabry disease, we have reported resting cerebral hyper-perfusion in a predominantly vertebro-basilar distribution together with abnormalities of vascular nitrotyrosine staining.
However, the more generalized cerebrovascular response noted in both the carotid and vertebro-basilar circulation suggests stimulus spread in Fabry disease, possibly due to a decreased response threshold in non-visual cortex vasculature.
A similar vascular hyper-responsiveness has been noted in caveolin-1 knock-out mice [ 25 26 ] raising the possibility that the accumulation of Gb 3 results in over-activity of uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase within endothelial cell caveolae generating superoxide and other reactive oxygen species [ 27 ] . The latter may have a vasodilatatory effect [ 28 ] . Predominance of vascular abnormalities in the vertebro-basilar system in Fabry disease suggests fundamental biologic differences between the anterior and the posterior circulation.
Such difference might, for example, result from the neural crest origin of pericytes and vascular smooth muscle in the anterior circulation as opposed to paraxial mesoderm in the vertebro-basilar or posterior circulation [ 29 ] .
