متن کاملAnalysis of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
Background and Purpose: Microaneurysms and fibrinoid necrosis of cerebral cortical arteries have been reported to be related to the pathogenesis of intracerebral hemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. To elucidate the pathogenesis of such vascular lesions, we conducted the present study. Methods: Five hundred serial sections from brain tissue of a patient with severe amyloid an...
