The type of dementia caused by small strokes, vascular dementia, is also sometimes referred to as âsmall vessel diseaseâ or multi-infarct dementia because it is caused by small strokes (infarcts) caused by blood clots in the small blood vessels of the brain.
1 Transient ischemic attack (TIA) leaves little to no permanent damage within the brain. 2  The symptoms of this include facial weakness, visual impairment, loss of coordination or balance, a sudden headache, and mental confusion with unintelligible speech.ost commonly this is a stroke or mini-stroke and sometimes can be a hemorrhagic stroke. Any of these can result in vascular dementia. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the most important contributing cause because it damages the blood vessel lining exposing collagen where platelets aggregate to initiate a repair.
