Version 1BackgroundChronic cerebral hypoperfusion triggers the development of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), common in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). However, conventional imaging techniques cannot visualize cerebral small vessels. The retina, a direct extension of the central nervous system, has an unclear correlation with WMHs.
