Recurrent intracerebral haemorrhages as main manifestations in cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation.

Abstract

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a relatively rare and treatable subtype of CAA. We have herein reported a case of CAA-ri with repeated recurrent lobar haemorrhages within a short time as the main manifestations and effectively treated with immunosuppressive therapy. Our case expanded the clinical spectrum of CAA-ri and indicated that leptomeningeal inflammation might be a trigger and bleeding source for recurrent haemorrhage in CAA.
