Editorial:Cerebral small vessel disease—Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial
Cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)refers to a group of clinical,imaging,and pathological syn-dromes,mainly involving intracerebral small arteries,arterioles,capillaries,and small veins.It is commonly observed in the elderly population,and its insidious onset often causes the delay in diagnosis and treatment,which may lead to poor prognosis and progression to cognitive and behavioral impairments.This article elaborates on the pathogenesis,imaging features,diagnosis,and treatment of CSVD and CSVD-induced cognitive impairment,in order to raise the awareness of early diagnosis and treatment of CSVD in clinical practice.
