A 32-year-old man of Irish descent presented with severe progressive headache and sensorineural hearing loss. MRI/magnetic resonance angiography head scans were normal. A length-dependent sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with autonomic dysfunction predated these symptoms. Systemic organ
A 70-year-old man presented with two months of worsening cognitive impairment, hallucinations, and difficulty speaking, with superimposed headaches. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was notable for lymphocytic pleocytosis and elevated protein. Imaging studies revealed multiple acute and subacute
BACKGROUND
Piper sarmentosum Roxb. (PS), belonging to Piperaceae family, is an edible plant with medicinal properties. It is traditionally used by the Malays to treat headache and boost memory. Pharmacological studies revealed that PS exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant,
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 (CAA) is the second most common cause of non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) accounting for 12-15% of lobar haemorrhages in the elderly. Definitive diagnosis of CAA requires histological evaluation. We aimed to evaluate the spectrum of cerebrovascular changes in
Amyloid-β-related angiitis (ABRA), a subtype of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), is vasculitis occurring in relation to amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the walls of intracranial blood vessels. ABRA is presumed to be caused by some immune response to the deposited Aβ. An 81-year-old man on oral
BACKGROUND
Although migraine usually begins in the early decades of life, late onset of migraine with aura is occasionally observed and can occur without headache, causing confusion in the differential diagnosis.
METHODS
A 72-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of visual aura lasting for
A 75-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) and anticoagulant therapy presented with a headache. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) was diagnosed after MRI of the brain revealed cortical superficial siderosis, lobar intracerebral hemorrhage, and lobar microbleeds. Anticoagulant
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a rare clinical entity, characterized by headaches, seizures, rapidly progressive cognitive decline, behavioral changes and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings underlying the autoimmune and inflammatory reaction at the 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
OBJECTIVE
To identify the clinical and radiologic features that should raise suspicion for the pseudotumoral presentation of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-I).
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the characteristics of 5 newly diagnosed and 23 previously reported patients in
We report a new case of giant cell angiitis of the central nervous system associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (GA/CAA). A 67-year-old woman was hospitalized with a history of headaches and lapses of consciousness. After improvement with corticosteroidtherpay, treatment was stopped. She
BACKGROUND
Convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage (cSAH) is a rare type of spontaneous, non-traumatic, and nonaneurysmal SAH characterised by blood collections in one or more cortical sulci in the convexity of the brain; the aetiology varies. We report a clinical case series of 3 patients with cSAH
Background and Purpose- To determine whether migraine, which has often been described as an inaugural manifestation in monogenic cerebrovascular syndromes, is associated with cerebral amyloid pathology, we assessed migraine and its correlation with magnetic resonance imaging markers in Hereditary
A male with probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-related inflammation presented with headache and subacute hemi-paresis. After admission he developed a disturbance of consciousness and a CT brain scan showed oedema with significant midline shift. He was treated with corticosteroids with prompt
