Abstract:
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) refers to a series of clinical, imaging and pathological syndromes of cerebral arterioles, capillaries, venules, as well as perivascular brain parenchyma caused by various etiologies, and is one of the important causes of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. The onset of CSVD is insidious, and the early diagnosis mainly depends on imaging examination. This article reviews the effects of different imaging markers of CSVD on cognitive function and their pathophysiological mechanism.
