Can cerebral small vascular disease be cured?

Small vessel disease is treatable and involves small vessels, arterioles 100 to 400 microns in diameter. Clinical manifestations include lacunar infarcts, perivascular spaces, white matter lesions, new subcortical infarcts, and cerebral microbleeds. Common causes include cerebral arteriosclerosis, and rare causes include sporadic or inherited amyloidosis, inflammatory, or immune-mediated small vessel disease. To identify the cause, treatment may be based on the etiology. Arteriosclerosis small infarction is the most common type in clinical practice. It can be given to control hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and other risk factors. Antiplatelet therapy such as aspirin and statin can be given to stabilize plaque.
