AI Article Synopsis
- Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves the buildup of amyloid proteins in blood vessels in the brain, potentially causing bleeding inside the brain.
- This report discusses a rare case of simultaneous major bleeding in both sides of the brain due to CAA, which has not been documented before.
- The authors suggest that this case may be connected to the use of antiplatelet medication and temporary increases in blood pressure.
Article Abstract
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is the deposition of amyloid proteins in the cerebrovasculature, which can lead to intracerebral hemorrhage. Intracerebral hemorrhage in CAA often presents with microhemorrhages and, less frequently, with more devastating macrohemorrhages. We present a case of CAA-related synchronous bilateral intracerebral macrohemorrhage which, to our knowledge, has yet to be reported in the literature, and postulate its relationship to antiplatelet therapy and transient elevations in blood pressure.
