Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation

Discussion:

This case is most consistent with cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation. Patients are usually elderly and tend to present with subacute fatigue, confusion, and cognitive decline. Blood and CSF evaluation including infectious and inflammatory markers are often normal. Development of inflammatory changes in patients with CAA is more frequent in those with the APOE ε4 genotype. Treatment is with high dose steroids and patients usually improve.
