In cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), water diffusion changes suggestive of microstructural tissue alterations have been recently reported in abnormal- and normal-appearing white matter as seen on T2-weighted images. In the subcortical gray matter, typical lacunar infarcts are repeatedly observed. Whether microstructural tissue changes are also present outside these lesions within the putamen or thalamus remains unknown.
