脑小血管病(CSVD)是导致老年人抑郁的主要原因之一,近年来研究发现,CSVD与抑郁的发生发展密切相关,可能是抑郁发生的一个重要预测因素。因此,本文就CSVD与抑郁之间的关系进行综述,阐述其影像学特征在抑郁发病中的作用,以期为高危人群抑郁的早期识别与防治提供客观依据。

Cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)is one of the major causes of depression in the elderly,and recent studies have shown that CSVD is closely associated with the development and progression of depression and may be an important predictive factor for the onset of depression.Therefore,this article reviews the association between CSVD and depression and the role of its neuroimaging features in the pathogenesis of depression,in order to provides an objective basis for the identification,prevention,and treatment of depression in high-risk populations in early clinical stages.
