BACKGROUND
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a major cause of lobar hemorrhage in older adults, and of microvascular ischemic disease. The rarest form of this disease is an inflammatory form causing seizures. It is important to recognize because the patients usually respond to a brief course of
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
A 68-year-old female with severe anemia due to a bleeding bladder was scheduled for emergency transurethral electrocoagulation surgery under general anesthesia. Her preoperative consciousness was clear. After preoxygenation, general anesthesia was induced with ketamine 40 mg and vecuronium 6 mg.
Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a cerebral small vessel disease in the elderly. Neuropathologically, it is characterized by deposition of amyloid-ß (Aß) in the wall of small to medium-sized arteries, capillaries and venules of the cerebral cortex and leptomeninges. Over the last years
Seven cases of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage due to histologically confirmed cerebral amyloid angiopathy were observed over a period of 2 1/2 years. Initial computed tomographic (CT) scans demonstrated lobar hemorrhages in all but one patient, who had presented with corpus callosum
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a cerebrovascular disease in which β-amyloid peptides are deposited in leptomeningeal, cortical, and subcortical arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. Most individuals with CAA are asymptomatic. However, patients with CAA can present with cognitive impairment
Three elderly patients with, respectively: mild cognitive impairment, severe and progressive neurologic involvement, and focal neurologic deficit, were observed. MRI showed multiple areas of white matter edema, at times partially involving the cortex, in the first two patients, and a single area in
Inflammatory cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) typically affects older patients who present with acute or subacute cognitive decline, headache, behavioral change, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals patchy or confluent asymmetric white matter
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a rare variant of CAA with autoimmune inflammation. A 77-year-old female experienced light-headedness during walking and mild ataxic gait without any other objective neuropsychological deficits. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is an important cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, data on surgical intervention in CAA-related ICH is very limited. In this retrospective study we assessed safety and efficacy of free-hand catheter aspiration followed by local BACKGROUND
Cerebral vasogenic edema (VE) has been reported to occur during antiamyloid immunotherapy. VE may be associated with central nervous system pathology with blood-brain barrier disruptions; however, less is known about the prevalence of naturally occurring VE in patients with Alzheimer's
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) associated with inflammation is a rare form of a potentially reversible encephalopathy in a subgroup of patients with CAA. The cerebral amyloid deposition can in isolated cases induce an inflammation predominantly of the cerebral blood vessels and a multifocal edema
Although cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a well-known cause of cerebral lobar hemorrhage, subacute dementia, seizures, and acute encephalopathy without lobar hemorrhage are infrequently recognized as manifestations of this disease. In this report, we describe a case of cerebral amyloid angiopathy in
We herein report that the clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging may provide valuable clues to the pathogenesis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-associated encephalopathy, which currently remains unclear. We herein describe two cases of
The case of a 75-year-old man with a history of lymphoma, recent upper respiratory tract infection, and a protracted course of encephalopathy is presented. Radiologically, findings were consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. A brain biopsy revealed evidence of endothelial
