Hi, Anon.

Thank you for your post.

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a frequent finding on CT and MRI scans of elderly people and is related to vascular risk factors and cognitive and motor impairment, ultimately leading to dementia or parkinsonism in some.

Call your doctor for more information on your specific test results and condition.
