Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins. Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils.
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Radiology

Background:

Amyloid beta-related vasculitis is a rare inflammatory condition affecting cerebral blood vessels.
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and white matter lesions are potential MRI findings in vasculitis.

Observation:

An 86-year-old woman presented with headache and altered consciousness.
Head MRI revealed occipital lobe-dominant CMBs, white matter lesions, and leptomeningeal enhancement after gadolinium contrast.

Findings:

The patient was diagnosed with amyloid beta-related vasculitis.
Treatment with steroids resulted in a good clinical outcome.
Symptom exacerbation correlated with increased CMB contrast enhancement but not new white matter lesions or leptomeningeal changes.

Implications:

Steroid therapy appears effective for amyloid beta-related vasculitis.
MRI findings, particularly CMBs and leptomeningeal enhancement, can aid in diagnosis and monitoring.
Understanding the imaging evolution is crucial for managing this condition.
