Research progress on the correlation between imaging markers and cognitive dysfunction in cerebral small vessel disease

Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 4

Abstract

Some patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) may experience cognitive decline and may progress to dementia, which seriously impairs the quality of life of patients. Current studies on the correlation between CSVD imaging markers and cognitive impairment have shown that the distribution and severity of white matter hyperintensity (WMH), enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), and lacunar infarction (LI) have different effects on various cognitive domains. The cognitive dysfunction caused by CSVD may be related to indirect effects of inflammatory factors and damage to the brain tissue fiber bundles. However, the relationship between CSVD imaging markers and cognitive function and its related mechanisms still need to be further studied and verified.
