What is Deep Vein Diameters and Perivascular Space Scores Are Associated with Deep Medullary Vein Hypo-visibility in Patients with White Matter Hyperintensity about?

## Background Deep medullary vein (DMV) hypo-visibility is correlated with white matter hyperintensity (WMH), but the underlying causes remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between deep vein diameters and perivascular space (PVS) scores, and DMV hypo-visibility in the presence of WMH. ## Methods This cross-sectional study prospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 190 cerebral small vessel disease patients with WMH and 40 healthy controls from the Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated with Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. PVS scores ranging from 0 to 4 were determined according to the PVS counts in the basal ganglia area on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images; high-grade PVS was defined as a PVS score >1. The diameters of the deep cerebral veins, including the bilateral septal veins (SVs), thalamostriate veins (TSVs), lateral ventricular veins (LVVs), and internal cerebral veins, were measured using susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI). Left and right DMV scores, ranging from 0 to 9, were calculated based on the visibility of the DMV on SWI in the ipsilateral frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes. ## Results The deep
