SVD CADMUS Phenotype Criteria

Main classification
  CAA Boston criteria 2.0
Supratentorial lobar ICH or nonaneurysmatic, cSAH
AND
≥1 of the following:
 • ≥1 additional, supratentorial lobar, cortical or subcortical hemorrhagic lesion (ICH, CMB, cSS/cSAH distant to the index ICH)
 • >20 CSO-PVSs per hemisphere
 • Multispot white matter hyperintensity pattern
  Mixed CAA-DPA Concomitant presence of characteristic features for CAA and DPA
Deep supratentorial or brainstem ICH
AND
≥1 of the following:
 • ≥1 additional, supratentorial lobar, cortical or subcortical hemorrhagic lesion (ICH, CMB, cSS/cSAH distant to the index ICH)
 • >20 CSO-PVSs per hemisphere
 • Multispot white matter hyperintensity pattern
OR
Lobar supratentorial or nonaneurysmatic, cSAH
AND
≥1 of the following:
 • ≥1 additional, deep supratentorial or brainstem hemorrhagic lesion (ICH, CMB)
 • ≥1 deep supratentorial or brainstem lacune
 • Periventricular white matter lesions Fazekas grade ≥2
Additional SVD features can be present
  DPA Deep supratentorial or brainstem ICH
AND
≥1 of the following:
 • ≥1 additional, deep supratentorial or brainstem hemorrhagic lesion (ICH, CMB)
 • ≥1 deep supratentorial or brainstem lacune
 • Periventricular white matter lesions Fazekas grade ≥2
Additional SVD features can be present
Undetermined SVD ICH of any location
AND
Signs of SVD not fulfilling the criteria for CAA, DPA or mixed CAA-DPA, e.g.
≥1 of the following:
 • ≥1 lobar or cerebellar lacune
 • >20 BG-PVS per hemisphere
 • Periventricular white matter lesions Fazekas grade 1 or any isolated, deep white matter lesions
 • Recent, small infarcts
OR
Cerebellar or holohemispheric ICH or uncertain hematoma epicenter
AND
≥1 of the following:
 • ≥1 additional, deep supratentorial or brainstem hemorrhagic lesion (ICH, CMB)
 • ≥1 deep supratentorial or brainstem lacune
 • Periventricular white matter lesions Fazekas grade ≥2
 • ≥1 additional, supratentorial lobar, cortical or subcortical hemorrhagic lesion (ICH, CMB, cSS/cSAH distant to the index ICH)
Additional SVD features can be present

Abbreviations: BG = basal ganglia; CAA = cerebral amyloid angiopathy; CMB = cerebral microbleed; CSO = centrum semiovale; cSAH = convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage; cSS = cortical superficial siderosis; DPA = deep perforator arteriopathy; ICH = intracerebral hemorrhage; PVS = perivascular space; SVD = small vessel disease.
