Iatrogenic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in Patients Treated With Cadaveric Dura Mater During Childhood Neurosurgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]
ABSTRACTBackgroundIatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (iCAA) is a recently identified clinico‐neuroradiological syndrome associated with medical procedures, particularly neurosurgical treatments involving cadaveric dura mater (e.g., Lyodura). iCAA can manifest as intracerebral hemorrhages, focal seizures, and cognitive impairment, with the risk ...

Ethical considerations of disclosure of iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) causes stroke and cognitive decline. The recently identified iatrogenic CAA subtype (iCAA) is thought to be transmitted through medical procedures involving cadaveric human material and potentially neurosurgical instruments or blood transfusions. This

Iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy in older adults [PDF]
AbstractBackground and purposeAn increasing number of cases of iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) have now been reported worldwide. Proposed diagnostic criteria require a history of medical intervention with potential for amyloid‐β transmission, for example those using cadaveric dura mater or requiring instrumentation of the brain or spinal ...

Inflammatory Episode in a Patient With Probable Iatrogenic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: An ARIA Before the Storm? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Amyloid related imaging abnormalities effusion/edema (ARIA‐E) is seen in patients treated with antiamyloid antibodies. It resembles cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) related inflammation (CAA‐ri) caused by an inflammatory response to amyloid deposition in the walls of ...

Iatrogenic Dementia: Providing Insight into Transmissible Subtype of Alzheimer’s Disease, Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy [PDF]
Within the phenotypic spectrum of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), dementia that is attributed to iatrogenic transmission has increasingly gained scientific attention recently.

Introduction: These case reports illustrate Iatrogenic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (iCAA) due to neurosurgical procedures. Recent studies propose prion transmission during neurosurgery as a potential mechanism for β-amyloid seed implantation, linking ...

Iatrogenic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Related Inflammation: A Multicenter Case Series. [PDF]
Variants of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) have been increasingly reported. Iatrogenic CAA (iCAA) is a subtype arising in patients with a history of neurosurgery. Current etiopathogenetic hypotheses focus on previous exposure to contaminated materials, such as cadaveric dura, followed by a prion-like mechanism.

Iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy 30 years after childhood cadaveric dura mater transplantation: a case report [PDF]
Background Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is rarely observed in young individuals. We herein report a case involving a 39-year-old man who underwent cadaveric dura mater (LYODURA) transplantation in childhood and subsequently developed repeated ...
