Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an hereditary angiopathy caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. It is rare, with a prevalence of 5 per 100,000; it is associated with an increased risk of transient ischaemic attack, cognitive defects and migraine developing after age 45, and has a highly variable progressive clinical course.
