See related article, pages 2894–2897. In this issue of Stroke, Feldman and coworkers1 describe 3 subjects with clinically somewhat atypical Alzheimer Disease (AD) and with a radiologically verified superficial siderosis (SS). In 2 of these patients, a neuropathological examination confirmed AD with concomitant cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and a premortem diagnosis of SS. Thus, a linkage wa...
متن کاملAcute Dysphasia and Reversible Cognitive Decline in a Patient with Probable Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Related Inflammation
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy related inflammation (CAAri) is becoming increasingly recognised as a subset of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). CAAri generally presents with subacute cognitive decline, headaches, seizures, behavioral changes, and focal neurological deficits. We describe a patient who developed acute dysphasia and reversible cognitive decline due to probable CAAri. CT brain showe...
متن کاملSpontaneous upper limb monoplegia secondary to probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a clinicopathological disorder characterised by vascular amyloid deposition initially in leptomeningeal and neocortical vessels, and later affecting cortical and subcortical regions. The presence of amyloid within the walls of these vessels leads to a propensity for primary intracerebral haemorrhage. We report the unusual case of a 77-year-old female who presented...
متن کاملIntracerebroventricular amyloid-beta antibodies reduce cerebral amyloid angiopathy and associated micro-hemorrhages in aged Tg2576 mice.
Although immunization against amyloid-beta (Abeta) holds promise as a disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer disease (AD), it is associated with an undesirable accumulation of amyloid in the cerebrovasculature [i.e., cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)] and a heightened risk of micro-hemorrhages. The central and peripheral mechanisms postulated to modulate amyloid with anti-Abeta immunotherapy r...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is increasingly recognized as a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke in the elderly as well as an important contributor to the growing challenge of vascular cognitive impairment, even in cerebral amyloid angiopathy patients without hemorrhagic stroke. Among the advances highlighted in this update are: (1) the importance of sulcal bleeding events in early recurrent hemor...
