abstract = {White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are established
structural imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease.
The pathophysiologic condition of brain tissue varies over
the core, the vicinity, and the subtypes of WMH and cannot
be interpreted from conventional magnetic resonance imaging.
We aim to improve our pathophysiologic understanding of WMHs
and the adjacently injured normal-appearing white matter in
terms of microstructural and microvascular alterations using
quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in patients with
sporadic and genetic cerebral small vessel
disease.Structural T2-weighted imaging, multishell diffusion
imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance
imaging were performed at 3T in 44 participants with
sporadic cerebral small vessel disease and 32 participants
with monogenic cerebral small vessel disease (cerebral
autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts
and leukoencephalopathy; 59±12 years, 41 males) between
June 2017 and May 2020 as part of the prospective,
multicenter (Edinburgh, the United Kingdom; Maastricht, the
Netherlands; and Munich, Germany), observational
INVESTIGATE-SVDs study (Imaging Neurovascular, Endothelial
and Structural Integrity in Preparation to Treat Small
Vessel Diseases). The mean diffusivity, free water content,
and perfusion (all derived from multishell diffusion
imaging), as well as the blood-brain barrier leakage and
plasma volume fraction (derived from dynamic
contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging), were compared
between deep and periventricular WMH types using paired t
tests. Additional spatial analyses were performed inside and
outside the WMH types to determine the internal
heterogeneity and the extent of the penumbras, that is,
adjacent white matter at risk for conversion to
WMH.Periventricular WMH had higher mean diffusivity, higher
free water content, and more plasma volume compared with
deep WMH (P<0.001, P=0.01, and P<0.001, respectively). No
differences were observed in perfusion (P=0.94) and
blood-brain barrier leakage (P=0.65) between periventricular
and deep WMHs. The spatial analyses inside WMH and the
adjacent white matter revealed a gradual gradient in white
matter microstructure, free water content, perfusion, and
plasma volume but not in blood-brain barrier leakage.We
showed different pathophysiological heterogeneity of the 2
WMH types. Periventricular WMHs display more severe damage
and fluid accumulation compared with deep WMH, whereas deep
WMHs reflect stronger hypoperfusion in the lesion's
