Abstract:
Intracranial arterial dolichoectasia (IADE), also known as dilated cerebral artery disease, is a kind of disease in which the diseased arteries are lengthened, enlarged, and tortuous due to various reasons. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) refers to a series of clinical, imaging and pathological syndromes caused by various etiologies affecting cerebral arterioles, venules and capillaries. Its main imaging manifestations include lacunar infarction, cerebral microbleeds, enlargement of perivascular space, white matter hyperintensities, and brain atrophy. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that IADE is closely associated with the occurrence and development of CSVD. This article reviews the correlation between IADE and CSVD.
