Abstract
Three cases with age-related cerebral small vessel disease and normal pressure hydrocephalus in the Department of Neurology of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients exhibited gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence. Meanwhile, the Craniocerebral imaging demonstrated cerebral small vessel disease and communicating hydrocephalus. The cerebralspinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42 levels decreased, and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes were ε3/ε4,ε3/ε3,ε2/ε3, respectively. After treatment in an all-cause individualized manner, the symptoms of 3 patients were stable or improved.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation of vasogenic white matter lesions with retinal vascular network parameters using fully automatic retinal image analysis of fundus photographs. Methods: A total of 106 patients with cerebral small vessel disease who were hospitalized in Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University during March and October 2015, and were able to undertake cerebral MRI and fundus photography in a sitting position were included. They were divided into two groups (mild or moderate-severe) according to the Fazekas scores of periventricular white matter lesions and deep white matter lesions shown by MRI. The clinical data and retinal vascular network parameters were compared between mild and moderate-severe groups. Results: According to the severity of periventricular white matter lesions, Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting baseline information, decreased asymmetry index of artery (OR=1.71, 95%CI 1.02-2.88, P<0.05)was associated with periventricular white matter lesions. As for deep white matter lesions, Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting baseline information, decreased central retinal artery equivalent(OR=5.19, 95%CI 1.06-25.44, P<0.05), decreased asymmetry index of artery (OR=2.96, 95%CI 1.42-6.17, P<0.05), decreased asymmetry index of venule (OR=2.99, 95%CI 1.48-6.02, P<0.05) and increased central retinal vein equivalent (OR=0.14, 95%CI 0.03-0.67, P<0.05) were associated with deep white matter lesions. Conclusions: White matter lesions of different places could be contributed to different pathological process. Therefore, the early diagnosis and observation of them are applicable to different retinal vascular network parameters.
