    Abstract

    The cerebral microvascular system, which includes arterioles, capillaries, and venules, has often been studied as a whole in the past. Compared to the small arteries, we know very little about cerebral venules. Venous collagenosis was first proposed by Moody in 1995. With the development of imaging techniques, we can visualize cerebral venules in vivo by susceptibility-weighted imaging. There is a growing evidence that cerebral venules are associated with related neurological disorders such as cerebral small vessel disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. However, the risk factors leading to functional and structural alterations in the cerebral venules and the associated pathogenic mechanisms are not yet known. In this article, we review and summarize the studies related to cerebral venules.

    Keywords: cerebral venules anatomy pathology imaging neurological disorders
