Abstract:
Cerebral smal vessel disease (CSVD) accounts for 25 to 30% of al strokes. It is a main cause of vascular cognitive impairment. Because of cerebral smal vessels can not easily be directly observed and studied in vivo and on imaging, so the term CSVD is generaly used to describe a syndrome of clinical, cognitive, neuroimaging, and neuropathological changes, and not focus on the pathological changes of the smal vessel wal itself that caused these syndromes. This article reviews the advances in research on CSVD, particularly its pathological changes of vessel wals.
