Excerpt

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a relatively rare hereditary small vessel disease resulting in neurological deficits [1]. Stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) are reported in the majority with symptomatic CADASIL, driving presentation in 71% in a large case series, migraine is common (23%) and life expectancy is reduced [1, 2]. CADASIL can also contribute to vascular dementia. The exact prevalence of CADASIL is unknown as it is under-recognised even in specialist stroke settings, but the minimum prevalence is estimated at 2–5 in 100,000 [1]. …
