Scope note: Grupo heterogéneo de trastornos esporádicos o familiares caracterizados por depósitos de AMILOIDE en las paredes de los vasos sanguíneos de tamaño pequeño y medio de la CORTEZA CEREBRAL y de las MENINGES. Las características clínicas incluyen múltiples pequeñas HEMORRAGIAS DE HEMISFERIOS CEREBRALES, isquemia cerebral (ISQUEMIA ENCEFÁLICA), e INFARTO DE HEMISFERIOS CEREBRALES. La angiopatía amiloide cerebral no guarda relación con la AMILOIDOSIS generalizada. Los péptidos amiloidogénicos en esta afección son casi siempre los que se encuentran en la ENFERMEDAD DE ALZHEIMER.

Scope note: 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)
