Abstract in brief

Perivascular spaces (PVS), also called Virchow-Robin spaces, are fluid-filled areas surrounding blood vessels in the brain that help clear waste, and their dysfunction is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and cerebrovascular problems.
Enlarged PVS may result from waste buildup, such as amyloid deposits, and are often observed before significant brain damage, serving as markers for conditions like cerebral amyloid angiopathy and ischemic injury.
Different patterns of PVS enlargement are associated with specific vascular issues; for example, PVS near the cortex relate to amyloid-related disease, while basal ganglia PVS are linked to vascular risk factors, highlighting their importance in understanding brain health and developing therapies.]
