Abstract:
Iron metabolism is an important physiological process in the human body. When the imbalance of brain iron metabolism causes iron overload, it can lead to brain iron deposition, causing oxidative stress damage to brain cells. Recent studies have shown that brain iron deposition is closely associated with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). This article reviews the latest research progress on brain iron deposition and CSVD, aiming to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CSVD.
