Summary

A patient receiving aducanumab for Alzheimer disease developed fatal super-refractory status epilepticus due to severe amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). Vigilance in interpreting surveillance imaging is crucial for anti-amyloid therapies.

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...
