چکیده
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 progressive cognitive impairment. She was detected have CAA on imaging both cortical microbleeds extensive superficial siderosis. started cholinesterase inhibitors antipsychotics for her symptoms. Antiplatelet agents were avoided increased risk hemorrhage. This report highlights importance cause elderly patients also its therapeutic implications

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy presenting as a brain mass.
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.

PRIMARY cerebral amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of amyloid within the cerebral tissue (e.g., core of neuritic plaques and core of plaques in spongiform encephalopathies) and the cerebral and meningeal blood vessel walls (amyloid or congophilic angiopathy) in the absence of systemic amyloidosis. Primary cerebral amyloidosis has been associated with normal brain aging changes" and wit...

متن کاملCerebral amyloid angiopathy
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is increasingly recognized as a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke in the elderly as well as an important contributor to the growing challenge of vascular cognitive impairment, even in cerebral amyloid angiopathy patients without hemorrhagic stroke. Among the advances highlighted in this update are: (1) the importance of sulcal bleeding events in early recurrent hemor...
