Primary Systemic Amyloidosis With Ischemic Stroke as a Presenting Complication
Neurol 69:1136-1141, Yubkov,A.Y.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Ischemic stroke is an underappreciated complication of primary amyloidosis. In the absence of obvious clinical and cardiogenic manifestations, primary amyloidosis should be considered when echocardiography demonstrates thickening of the valves, restrictive pattern, and increased echogenicity. Ischemic strokes as an initial presentation of primary amyloidosis carries a worse prognosis.
