Cerebral amyloid angiopathy related inflammation (CAAri) is becoming increasingly recognised as a subset of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).
CAAri generally presents with subacute cognitive decline, headaches, seizures, behavioral changes, and focal neurological deficits.
We describe a patient who developed acute dysphasia and reversible cognitive decline due to probable CAAri.
CT brain showed bilateral vasogenic edema in the cerebral hemispheres, predominantly involving the parietal and temporal lobes, left greater than right without enhancement.
Magnetic resonance brain imaging showed extensive multifocal areas of subcortical white matter T2 hyperintensity in the frontal and temporal regions with associated mass effect, negligible enhancement, and multiple foci of microhemorrhage on susceptibility weighted imaging sequences consistent with a diagnosis of probable CAAri.
She responded dramatically to a course of intravenous methylprednisolone followed by further immunosuppression with pulse intravenous cyclophosphamide.
Her dysphasia resolved within 5 days of intravenous methylprednisolone therapy.
Her MMSE improved from 11/30 at day 5 of admission to 28/30 at 6-month follow-up.
The notable features of our case were the unusual CT findings, which were inconsistent with stroke and diagnostic utility of susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in confirming the diagnosis which allowed for prompt institution of immunosuppression.
