Diffuse Tract Damage Correlates With Global Cognitive Impairment in Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy With Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy: A Tract-Based Spatial Statistics Study.
Abstract
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common familial arteriopathy characterized by recurrent lacunar stroke, migraine, and depression. The mechanism of cognitive dysfunction in CADASIL is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to use tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) to map voxelwise the spatial distribution of brain microstructural change revealed by DTI-derived indices in patients with CADASIL to further study the underlying neuropsychopathological mechanism of CADASIL.
