The Role of Amyloid PET in Diagnosing Possible Transmissible Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in Young Adults with a History of Neurosurgery: A Case Series

Abstract

Combining the clinical presentation and imaging findings of the 4 cases, we postulate transmissible CAA as the possible diagnosis. Further epidemiological studies are required to gain more insight in the prevalence of this novel entity. Amyloid PET may be a useful, non-invasive tool in these analyses especially since pathological evidence will be lacking in most of these studies.
