Perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale at the beginning of the 8th decade of life: effect on cognition and associations with mineral deposition.

ABSTRACT: Brain iron deposits (IDs) are indicative of microvessel dysfunction which may predispose to small vessel disease (SVD) brain damage and worsen cognition later in life. Visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (CSO-PVS) are SVD features linked with microvessel dysfunction. We examined possible associations of CSO-PVS volume and count with brain IDs and cognitive abilities in 700 community-dwelling individuals from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 who underwent detailed cognitive testing and multimodal brain MRI at mean age 72.7 years. Brain IDs were assessed automatically followed by manual editing. PVS were automatically assessed in the centrum semiovale and deep corona radiata supraventricular. General factors of overall cognitive function (g), processing speed (g-speed) and memory (g-memory) were used in the analyses. Median (IQR) volumes of IDs and CSO-PVS expressed as a percentage of intracranial volume were 0.0021 (0.011) and 0.22 (0.13)% respectively. Median count of CSO-PVS was 410 (IQR?=?201). Total volumes of CSO-PVS and ID, adjusted for head size, were correlated (Spearman ??=?0.13, p

Project description:Background and purposeWe explored whether high-degree magnetic resonance imaging–visible perivascular spaces in centrum semiovale (CSO) are more prevalent in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) than hypertensive small vessel disease and their relationship to brain amyloid retention in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsOne hundred and eight spontaneous ICH patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging and Pittsburgh compound B were enrolled. Topography and severity of enlarged perivascular spaces were compared between CAA-related ICH (CAA-ICH) and hypertensive small vessel disease–related ICH (non-CAA ICH). Clinical and image characteristics associated with high-degree perivascular spaces were evaluated in univariate and multivariable analyses. Univariate and multivariable models were performed to evaluate associations between the severity of perivascular spaces in CSO and amyloid retention in CAA-ICH and non–CAA-ICH cases.ResultsPatients with CAA-ICH (n=29) and non–CAA-ICH (n=79) had similar prevalence of high-degree perivascular spaces in CSO (44.8% versus 36.7%; P=0.507) and in basal ganglia (34.5% versus 51.9%; P=0.131). High-degree perivascular spaces in CSO were independently associated with the presence of lobar microbleed (odds ratio, 3.0 [95% CI, 1.1–8.0]; P=0.032). The amyloid retention was higher in those with high-degree than those with low-degree CSO-perivascular spaces in CAA-ICH (global Pittsburgh compound B standardized uptake value ratio, 1.55 [1.33–1.61] versus 1.13 [1.01–1.48]; P=0.003) but not in non–CAA-ICH. In CAA-ICH, the association between cerebral amyloid retention and the degree of perivascular spaces in CSO remained significant after adjustment for age and lobar microbleed number (P=0.004).ConclusionsAlthough high-degree magnetic resonance imaging–visible perivascular spaces are equally prevalent between CAA-ICH and non–CAA-ICH in the Asian cohort, the severity of magnetic resonance imaging–visible CSO-perivascular spaces may be an indicator of higher brain amyloid deposition in patients with CAA-ICH.

Project description:Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) are widely considered as a feature of cerebral small vessel diseases (SVD), but its underlying pathology is still under active investigation. The aim of this study was to explore the association between hemoglobin level and the severity of EPVS. Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent baseline MRI scan and hemoglobin testing were evaluated. EPVS in basal ganglia (BG) and central semiovale (CS) were rated with a validated 4-point semiquantitative scale (0 = none; 1 = 1-10; 2 = 11-20; 3 = 21-40; and 4 ≥ 40). Bivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the associations of hemoglobin with predefined high-degree (score > 1) CS-EPVS and BG-EPVS. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between hemoglobin and CS-/BG-EPVS predominance patterns. A total of 401 patients were included in the final analysis, 94 patients (23.4%) had a high degree of CS-EPVS and 45 patients (11.2%) had a high degree of BG-EPVS. Compared with tertile 1 of hemoglobin, tertile 3 of hemoglobin was independently associated with high degree of CS-EPVS after adjusting for other features of SVD (odds ratio [OR] 2.399, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.315-4.379, P = 0.004) and potential confounding factors (OR 2.611, 95% CI 1.346-5.066, P = 0.005). In multinomial logistic regression models, compared with tertile 1 of hemoglobin, tertile 2 (OR 2.463, 95% CI 1.195-5.075, P = 0.015) and tertile 3 (OR 2.625, 95% CI 1.102-6.251, P = 0.029) of hemoglobin were associated with higher odds of BG-EPVS = CS-EPVS pattern, and tertile 3 of hemoglobin (OR 2.576, 95% CI 1.004-6.608, P = 0.049) was associated with higher odds of BG-EPVS < CS-EPVS pattern. Elevated hemoglobin level was independently associated with high degree of CS-EPVS and higher odds of CS-EPVS predominance pattern, but not with BG-EPVS, which support that the topography of EPVS is characteristic. However, the pathogenesis linking hemoglobin and CS-EPVS is unclear and still needs further investigation.
