Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy:Diagnosis by MRI and Brain Biopsy
Neurol 40:1308-1310, Hendricks,H.T.,et al, 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report the case of an intellectually deteriorating 66-year-old man who presented with an epileptic seizure.CT of the brain suggested a low-grade astrocytoma,but MRI showed multiple punctate hemorrhagic lesions and a demyelination of vascular origin.Brain biopsy revealed depositions of amyloid in cortical and meningeal arteries.MRI may be of value in diagnosing cerebral amyloid angiopathy associated with leukoencephalopathy and petechial hemorrhages.
