Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a disease of the blood vessels of the brain caused by the deposition of beta-amyloid. This type of protein is deposited throughout the cerebral circulation.
Clinical presentation
Recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages are a typical complication of amyloid angiopathy.
Imaging
Patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy typically have so-called microbleeds on MRI examination[^1].
