Journal of Neurosurgery
|December 1, 1985
Summary
Cerebral amyloid angiography may lead to ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase hemorrhage risk in elderly patients with TIAs and unsuspected amyloid angiopathy.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Neurology
Background:
- Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a recognized cause of intracerebral hemorrhage.
- CAA is also associated with ischemic events, including stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
