Cerebral Microbleeds Linked to Parkinson’s Disease Dementia
A recent study from Japan has shown that tiny cerebral (brain) bleeds are associated with cognitive decline and dementia in Parkinson’s patients. Cerebral microbleeds (CBMs) are small, chronic brain hemorrhages likely caused by structural abnormalities of the small vessels in the brain.
CBMs are markers of small vessel disease frequently found in normal aging, as well as in patients with stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. These lesions are known promoters of cognitive decline in the elderly and are linked to poor prognosis in Alzheimer’s patients.
