[S-10] New approach to the cerebral small vessel disease

Chair: Toshiki Mizuno(Department of Neurology, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Japan), Hidekazu Tomimoto(Department of Neurology, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan)

Cerebral small vesseol disease is considered as a cause of lacunar infarction or cerebral hemorrage. However, recent studies indicated that cerebral small veseel deisease is a cause of not only cerebral white matter lesion, cerebral microbleeds, but also vasuclar dementia. In this symposium, we would like to discuss cerebral small vessel disease from the pathological, genetic, animal model and clinical aspects.
