Cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment
Cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)is a common vascular disease associated with aging. CSVD contributes to cognitive decline although the pathogenesis of CSVD and how it affects cognition is largely unknown. Here we introduce the imaging features of CSVD and review the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of CSVD and related cognitive dysfunction.
