Abstract:
Cerebral small vessel disease is common and is gradually being understood,but it is difficult to visualize directly in the body.The retinal vessels share the similar anatomic,physiological,and embryological characteristics with the cerebral small vessels.Their changes may reflect the changes of cerebral small vessels in a certain extent.Studies in recent years have shown that retinal vascular abnormalities are associated with lacunar infarction and white matter lesions.This article summarizes the research evidence of the correlation of between retinal vascular abnormalities and cerebral small vessel disease.
