Abstract:
Leukoaraiosis (LA) is a group of clinical syndrome caused by multiple etiologies.It belongs to one of the types of cerebral small vessel diseases.Studies have shown that LA usually can lead to different degrees of cognitive impairment.In recent years,with the development of imaging techniques,the studies about correlation between maging findings and cognitive impairment in LA patients and cognitive impairment are increasing gradually and have drawn some new conclusions.And thus,the understanding of the clinical significance of LA has been further deepened.This article mainly reviews the advances in research on the correlation between imaging findings and cognitive impairment in LA patients.
