The MR images of a patient with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (a localized vascular deposition of amyloid without evidence of systemic amyloidosis) showed an extensive right temporoparietal lobe mass with frontal lobe extension that was slightly hypointense on T1-weighted images and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted images. No contrast enhancement was identified on MR imaging.

Transgenic mice overexpressing the human amyloid precursor protein (APPV717F) develop cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) as they age. We have examined the effect of CAA on blood vessels in vivo using multiphoton laser scanning microscopy. We are able to simultaneously detect, in an alive but anesthetized animal, fluorescent angiography of microvessels as well as the presence of amyloid angiopath...

Cerebrovascular deposition of amyloid (cerebral amyloid angiopathy CAA) is most commonly recognized as a cause of spontaneous lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. On the basis of the noninvasive new MR imaging we would propose superficial cortical hemosiderosis and subarachnoid hemosiderosis as potentially useful new criteria to facilitate the diagnosis of CAA.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a stroke subtype with high mortality and poor functional outcome in survivors. Its main causes are hypertension, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, anticoagulant treatment. Hematomas have frequency of expansion the first hours after symptom onset, process associated neurologic deterioration outcome. Control severe reversal effect, management increased intracranial pressure...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disorder seen as age advances, characterized by the accumulation of within leptomeninges and cerebral blood vessels. Lobar hemorrhages are most common clinical manifestation seen. Cognitive decline due to repeated microhemorrhages in one rare presentations mainly elderly. We present here case seventy year old female patient who presented with history progr...
