Atypical Clinical Manifestations of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
2019
Purpose
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a vasculopathy caused by β-amyloid deposition in cerebral arterioles and capillaries. It is closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease and predisposes elderly patients to intracerebral hemorrhage, transient focal neurological episodes, and cognitive impairment. Because of a predilection for symptomatic hemorrhage, particularly in the frontal lobes, cerebral amyloid angiopathy may also cause a dysexecutive syndrome.
