[Abstract] Objective: A case-control study was designed to evaluate the brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) of cerebral small vessel damage in SAS. To deplore the characters of cerebral small vessel damage in SAS.Materials and Methods: Ninety-three snoring patients were enlisted and underwent polysomnograghy(PSG) . All patients were divided in 4 parts according to apnea hyponea index(AHI): 27 non- SAS, 23 mild SAS, 24 moderate SAS and 19 severe SAS group. All participants underwent MRI and the data of silent brain infarction(SBI), subcortical deep white matter hyperintensity (SDWMH) and periventricular hyperintensity(PVH) were collected. The results of MRI among 4 groups were compared by RC table chi-square test. The influence factors of small vessel damage were analyzed through binary logistic analysis.Results: SBI, SDWMH and PVH damage were increased along with the severity of SAS(P<0.05). AHI was the risk factor of SBI(OR 1.112, 95%CI 1.053—1.174, R2=0.387, χ2=29.009, P<0.001), SDWMH(OR 1.048, 95%CI 1.018—1.080, R2=0.193, χ2=13.056, P<0.001) and PVH (OR 1.043, 95%CI 1.015—1.073, R2=0.184, χ2=10.526, P=0.001). The cerebral small vessel damages in SAS were mostly found in basal ganglia(31% SBI) whereas frontal and parietal lobe(41%) in non-SAS group.Conclusion: SBI, SDWMH and PVH damage were increased along with the severity of SAS. AHI was the risk factor of SBI, SDWMH and PVH. Cerebral small vessel damage in SAS were mostly found in basal ganglia.
