Synopsis
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited form of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD). In this study, we investigated the changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF), arterial transit time (ATT) and water exchange rate (kw) measured by multi-delay pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) and diffusion prepared pCASL. Increased ATT and decreased kw were found in CADASIL patients compared with healthy controls. The results indicated modified cerebral hemodynamics and dysfunction of blood-brain barrier in CADASIL patients. MD-pCASL and DP-pCASL are promising for evaluating hemodynamics and BBB function of cSVD.
