Binswanger's Disease

Binswanger's Disease is a type of small vessel vascular dementia caused by damage to the deep white matter of the brain due to reduced blood flow, often related to high blood pressure and other vascular risk factors. This damage leads to problems with thinking, memory, and mood, as well as difficulties with walking and coordination. The progression can vary, but it generally worsens over time. Diagnosis involves brain imaging that shows areas of white matter damage. Managing risk factors and controlling blood pressure can help slow the disease's progression.
