Enlarged brain fluid spaces on MRI may signal early Alzheimer’s, a Singaporean study finds.
A Singaporean study links enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS)—fluid-filled areas around brain blood vessels, likened to "clogged drains"—to early Alzheimer’s disease.
Analyzing nearly 1,000 participants, researchers found those with mild cognitive impairment had more EPVS than others.
These spaces are part of the brain’s waste-clearance system, and their enlargement on standard MRI scans may signal early Alzheimer’s, potentially enabling earlier diagnosis and intervention.
The findings suggest EPVS could offer a non-invasive, accessible tool for detecting the disease before significant decline.
