Preferred Label : cerebral amyloid angiopathy;

MeSH definition : A heterogeneous group of sporadic or familial disorders characterized by AMYLOID deposits in the walls of small and medium sized blood vessels of CEREBRAL CORTEX and MENINGES. Clinical features include multiple, small lobar CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE; cerebral ischemia (BRAIN ISCHEMIA); and CEREBRAL INFARCTION. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is unrelated to generalized AMYLOIDOSIS. Amyloidogenic peptides in this condition are nearly always the same ones found in ALZHEIMER DISEASE. (from Kumar: Robbins and Cotran: Pathologic Basis of Disease, 7th ed., 2005);

MeSH synonym : amyloid angiopathy, cerebral; congophilic angiopathy; cerebral amyloid angiopathies; angiopathy, cerebral amyloid; angiopathy, congophilic; congophilic angiopathies;

MeSH hyponym : sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy;

MeSH annotation : /genet:consider also CEREBRAL AMYLOID ANGIOPATHY, FAMILIAL;
