Abstract:
Intracranial arterial dolichoectasia, also known as dilated cerebral artery disease, is characterized by an increase in the length and diameter of at least one intracranial artery, and the involved intracranial arteries enlarge and dilate. Cerebral small vessel disease mainly refers to diseases caused by small vessel lesions in the brain. It is usually used to describe a series of imaging changes of white matter and subcortical gray matter, including recent subcortical small infarction, lacuna, white matter hyperintensity, enlarged perivascular space, cerebral microhemorrhage, and cerebral atrophy. Recently, more and more studies have shown that there is a certain correlation between intracranial arterial dolichoectasia and cerebral small vessel diseases.
