Abstract
CADASIL, Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy, is an
inherited small vessels disease that characterized by central nervous system dysfunctions caused by mutations
in the Notch-3 gene. Clinical manifestations accrue due to brain’s vasculopathy, neurodegeneration, and immune
system reaction. We describe here an effective method for treatment of CADASIL by using mesenchymal stem
cell therapy. A CADASIL case, 36 years old man, neuroimaging and genetic analysis for Notch-3 confirmed the
diagnosis, is reported. In the present case, two stem cell injections have been performed at intervals of three weeks.
