Binswanger's disease, also known as subcortical vascular dementia, is a type of dementia that involves extensive microscopic damage to the small blood vessels and nerve fibres that make up the brain's white matter. Symptoms tend to begin after age 60 and progress in a stepwise manner. Both males and females are affected by the disease. The damage is the result of the thickening and narrowing (atherosclerosis) of arteries that feed the subcortical areas of the brain. As the arteries become more narrowed (obstructed), the blood supplied by those arteries decreases and brain tissue dies. Binswanger's disease is one of several disorders that fall under the category of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) that affect blood flow to and within the brain.
