Recurrence of Lobar Hemorrhage: A Red Flag for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-related Inflammation?

[摘要] Background. Recurrent lobar intracerebral hemorrhage is more commonly associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy and less likely associated with hypertension. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation is a subgroup of cerebral amyloid angiopathy that can present with lobar intracerebral hemorrhage, encephalopathy, and seizures; wherein corticosteroids may facilitate favorable outcome. Whether recurrence of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage in cerebral amyloid angiopathy is related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation is unknown.
