Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity (PSH) is a challenging and often underrecognized syndrome, commonly arising after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Characterized by episodic bursts of heightened sympathetic activity, PSH presents with a distinct constellation of symptoms including hypertension, tachycardia, hyperthermia, and diaphoresis. While the exact pathophysiology remains elusive, current evidence suggests that the syndrome results from an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal pathways within the central nervous system, leading to dysregulated autonomic responses.

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability and has become a significant public health concern among women. Overall, women have more ischemic stroke events than men, in part due to their longer life span, and also suffer from more severe stroke-related disabilities compared to men. Women are also more likely than men to present with atypical non-focal neurological symptoms, potentially leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

Rationale: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a treatable condition characterized by an acute or subacute onset, with its primary pathological hallmark being the deposition of amyloid, predominantly β-amyloid (Aβ), within intracranial microvessels. Despite its potential for treatment, CAA-ri is a rare disorder that is frequently underrecognized by clinicians in practice. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical manifestations and therapeutic approaches associated with CAA-ri, aiming to enhance awareness among healthcare professionals.
