The research progress of cerebral microbleeds / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs),as an important imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD),is a subclinical damage caused by small hemosiderin deposits indicative of prior cerebral microscopic hemorrhage.In recent years,CMBs have become an important research issue in the field of neuroimaging with the development of newer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for the higher detection rate of the CMBs.It must to be mentioned that CMBs plays a crucial role in the formatting process of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI),which caused researcher's attention.This review focuses on the research progress in epidemiological status,pathological mechanisms,risk factors,imaging manifestations,clinical features and treatment therapies of CMBs,in order to provide theoretical references for the early detection,prevention and treatment of CSVD and VCI.
