Background
Hereditary, unrelated to arteriosclerosis or hypertensive disease
Cerebral autosomal dominant ateriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common form
Leads to cognitive decline and dementia from multiple small ischaemic lesions and lacunar infarcts

Pathophysiology
Mutation in one of 4 different genes: NOTCH3, HTRA1, TREX1, COL4A1
Sucortical lesions Diffuse white matter
changes Lacunes Microinfarction

Pathophysiology continued… Affects intracerebral small vessels including:
arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and small veins Arteriolar narrowing Thickened arterial walls with fibrosis Accumulation of eosinophilic material Pericyte degeneration Loss of vascular smooth muscle cells Arterial changes lead to reduction in cerebral
blood flow and blood volume in affected areas

Signs & Symptoms
Mean age of onset (first stroke) is 46 y/o May be preceded by migraines Cognitive changes: deficits in attention,
processing speed, and executive function Dementia by the sixth decade of life Prognosis for disability and death worse for
men > women by 6 years

Types of Small Vessel Disease with hemiplegia
Hereditary Small Vessel Disease of the Brain (SVDB) – Autosomal Dominant- Age of onset: 36-52 y/o- Duration of disease: > 5 years- Key clinical features: Hemiplegia, motor and sensory deficits, memory impairments- Neuroimaging findings: diffuse white matter changes, deep cerebral infarcts, degeneration of pyramidal tract, and multiple micro bleeds

Types of Small Vessel Disease with hemiplegia
COL4A1-related disorder (stroke syndrome) – Autosomal dominant- Age of onset: 14-49 y/o- Duration of disease: > 8 years- Key clinical features: infantile hemiparesis, migraines, intracerebral hemorrhages, seizures, Raynaud phenomenon, dementia- Neuroimaging findings: diffuse white matter changes, dilated perivasular changes, subcortical infarcts, microbleeds, and absence of porencephaly cavities
