Cerebral Arteriopathy, Autosomal Dominant, With Subcortical Infarcts And Leukoencephalopathy, Type 2; Cadasil2

Description

Autosomal dominant cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy type 2 is a disorder of the small arterial vessels of the brain characterized by stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), cognitive impairment, dementia, balance impairment, gait disturbance, headaches, and/or seizures associated with early confluent or confluent diffuse white matter hyperintensities and sometimes associated with multiple lacunar infarcts and microbleeds. Dilated perivascular spaces with a typical status cribrosum characterized by innumerable dilated Virchow-Robin spaces and resulting in a cribriform change in basal ganglia occur in most patients. CADASIL2 differs from CADASIL1 (OMIM ) by a later age of onset (Verdura et al., 2015).
