Abstract:
Asymptomatic cerebral artery stenosis (aCAS) is closely associated with cognitive impairment, which can lead to multiple cognitive domain impairments, thereby affecting the behavior and daily life of patients. This article reviews the main involved cognitive domains, injury mechanisms, and treatment in different types of aCAS, with the aim of increasing attention to aCAS, early clinical intervention, and delaying cognitive deterioration.
