Abstract

Abstract Subcortical Ischemic Vascular Disease (SIVD) is underdiagnosed. This review investigates the relationship among SIVD severity, cognitive status and neuroimaging markers. Methods: Cohort, cross-sectional and case control studies were searched on ISI, Medline, Scielo, PsychoInfo and LILACS databases published between 1995 and 2006. Results: The most impaired cognitive domains were executive, attentional and memory retrieval mechanisms. These cognitive features were frequently associated to White Matter Lesions (WML). Conclusions: WML is an independent factor in cognitive decline. However, the threshold for this impact is not yet clearly established.Resumo A doença vascular isquêmica subcortical (DVIS) é uma condição ainda subdiagnosticada. Esta revisão investiga a relação entre a gravidade da DVIS, o status cognitivo e marcadores de neuroimagem. Métodos: Estudos de coorte, seccionais e casos-controles foram pesquisados nas bases de dados ISI, Medline, Scielo, PsychoInfo e LILACS entre 1995 e 2006. Resultados: Os domínios cognitivos mais comprometidos foram as funções executivas, a atenção e a recuperação da memória. Estes achados cognitivos estiveram frequentemente associados à presença de lesões em substância branca (LSB). Conclusões: As LSB constituem um fator de risco independente para o declínio cognitivo. Contudo, o limiar de impacto desta variável ainda não pôde ser claramente estabelecido.
