Brain Perivascular Spaces in Patients With Cognitive Impairment

Description

Cerebral perivascular spaces (PVS or Virchow-Robin spaces) are part of the cerebral
microvascular structure. The interstitial fluid within the brain drains from the gray matter and flows along
with PVS - it works as the lymphatic drainage of the brain and removes waste products such as amyloid-β
(Aβ), which is known to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, the presence
of PVS is associated with increased Aβ deposition in the leptomeningeal arteries.
Our goal was to evaluate PVS dilatation in patients with cognitive impairment.
