Different Characteristics of Incidental Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging‐Positive Lesions and Recent Small Subcortical Infarct in Patients With Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Atherosclerosis and branch atheromatous disease appear to be predominant causes of RSSI among Chinese patients with cerebral small vessel disease. Incidental DWI-positive lesions likely reflecting intrinsic small vessel injury constitute a cerebral small vessel disease marker and carry prognostic value for stroke recurrence and cognitive decline.
