Cerebral small vessel disease is associated with an increased risk of death, ischemic stroke and cognitive decline. Changes in large artery stiffness induced by hypertension may be related to microvascular alterations and contribute to cerebrovascular events, including cerebral microbleeds. Although the ...

Cerebral small vessel diseases (cSVD) are responsible for 20-30% of stroke events. They represent a leading cause of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia developing with aging. During the past 3 decades, beside the frequent sporadic forms of SVD related to current vascular risk factors...
small vessel disease Acronyms Any of multiple small cerebral infarcts in the corona radiata, internal capsule, striatum, thalamus, basis pontis, and/or cerebellum, occasionally preceded by transient symptoms, due to occlusion or stenosis of small penetrating branches of the middle and posterior cerebral...
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) plays an important role in cognitive impairment, stroke, disability, and death. Hypertension is the main risk factor for CSVD. The use of antihypertensive therapy has not resulted in the expected decrease in CSVD complications, which may be related to the unde...
Imaging markers of small vessel disease (SVD) (white matter hyperintensities [WMH] on structural MRI, visual scores and volume; perivascular spaces; lacunes and microbleeds), and vascular risk measures were assessed in both cohorts. We assessed associations between retinal and brain measurements using...
The blood-brain barrier protects brain tissue from potentially harmful plasma components. Small vessel disease (SVD; also termed arteriolosclerosis) is common in the brains of older people and is associated with lacunar infarcts, leukoaraiosis, and vascular dementia. To determine whether plasma extr...
The consequences of small vessel disease on the brain parenchyma are mainly lesions located in the subcortical structures such as lacunar infarcts, white matter lesions, large haemorrhages, and microbleeds. Because lacunar infarcts and white matter lesions are easily detected by neuroimaging, whereas ...
Background/Purpose: Childhood primary small vessel CNS vasculitis (SVcPACNS) is an increasingly recognized inflammatory brain disease with high morbidity and mortality mandating an elective brain biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The aim of the study was to systematically review biopsies of SVcPACNS ...
Small vessel disease (SVD) is responsible for brain chronic circular disorder, and accounts for 20%-30% cases of ischemic stroke as well as cerebral hemorrhage, and to a great extent, encephalopathy. Binswanger's disease and multiple small strokes, which are common in older people, are also ...
