CMBs can contribute to cognitive decline, their exact etiology remains unceain New studies emerges in which patients with purely lobar CMBs likely (but perhaps not always) have cerebral amyloid angiopathy, but those with purely deep locations of CMBs and those with a mix of lobar and deep CMBs likely have underlying vascular disease e.g. hypeension as the etiology.
