Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases: From Vessel Alterations to Cortical Parenchymal Injury
Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases (CSVD) represent a group of common age-related (but not clearly age-driven) microvascular brain pathologies, in which vessel injury leads to progressive accumulation of various small sized-tissue lesions (seen on neuroimaging or at autopsy). These lesions often accumul...

| 520 | |a Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases (CSVD) represent a group of common age-related (but not clearly age-driven) microvascular brain pathologies, in which vessel injury leads to progressive accumulation of various small sized-tissue lesions (seen on neuroimaging or at autopsy). These lesions often accumulate without overt acute clinical symptoms and might eventually be responsible for progressive cognitive decline. More rarely, in advanced small vessel disease, these lesions occur in so-called eloquent brain areas (motor, sensory or visual pathways mostly) and will lead to ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes (CSVD is responsible for a quarter of all strokes), transient ischemic attacks, other transient focal neurological episodes, or acute convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage. Since small vessels, and hence the direct structural alterations of CSVD, cannot be easily visualized in vivo with the current clinical neuroimaging techniques, the brain parenchymal lesions which they are thought to cause and their corresponding Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) markers have been widely adopted for evaluating CSVD. These markers have been a huge driver in the field. However, there are at least two major gaps in our knowledge on the nature of CSVD lesions: (1) exactly how intrinsic small vessel disease processes result in brain parenchymal injury (and are translated into MRI markers), and (2) how CSVD lesions contribute to neurological or cognitive symptoms. Also, although CSVD has historically mainly been described as a subcortical pathology, novel advancements in brain MRI over the last years have highlighted the importance of alterations within cortical areas of the brain and subsequently raised a new interest in CSVD. For example, there is now considerable evidence that innumerable small-sized lesions such as microinfarcts accumulate in the cortical mantle, which remains often missed by conventional MRI and systematic pathological evaluation. In line, the accumulations of lesions in distant brain areas eventually lead to morphologic and structural cortical alterations that are not easily detectable. | ||
