Abstract:
Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia is a subtype of vascular cognitive impairment. Its major pathological features are lacunar infarcts and deep white matter changes, and its major clinical manifestation is executive function impairment. Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) provides an opportunity for the study of pure subcorticai ischemic vascular dementia in the absence of Alzheimer's disease. There is currently lack of the gold standard for diagnosing subcortical ischemic vascular dementia. Imaging examination plays an important role in its diagnosis, while the treatment must first consider the control of vascular risk factors, especially hypertension.
