Abstract:
Small vessel disease (SVD) of the cerebral white and central grey matter is an important subtype of vascular dementia (VD).SVD-dementia is characterized by a dysexecutive type of cognitive impairment,neurological deficits including imbalance and voiding dysfunction,and emotional disturbances.SVD is also frequent among clinically healthy subjects and patients with mild cognitive impairment.It is easily visualized by imaging techniques,but difficult to distinguish from mixed SVD/ Alzheimer Disease.This article reviews the recent progress in research on SVD and the problems have to be resolved.
