This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

With some success the contributors to this book have tried to summarize what is known of the pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging characteristics and pathology of small vessel arterial disease in the brain. They have highlighted the historical background to this and have gone on to discuss the extent to which there is an overlap between the classification and description of small vessel arterial disease. The concepts and terminology have changed since the initial descriptions of arterial disease due to the advent of scanners to image the brain in life.
