Cerebral amyloid angiopathy
M Tzimou, A Anastasiou, Z Katsarou, A Pyrpasopoulou, S Douma. The neuroradiology journal, 2012-11-09
Topic: Plasma and spinal-fluid biomarkers
The aim of this report was to describe the case of an elderly patient with cerebral amyloid angiopathy and associated dementia who presented with new onset symptomatology compatible with an acute cerebrovascular event. Computed tomography scanning was suggestive of an incipient ischemic cerebrovascular event. Magnetic resonance imaging was requested due to the presence of small hyperdense lesions on CT, and revealed multiple diffuse hypodense parenchymal lesions with hemosiderin deposits, indicative of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Diagnosis of the underlying pathology is of importance, as aspirin use, and antiplatelet use in general, may in these patients be associated with microbleed burden.

Key findings
- Magnetic resonance imaging was requested due to the presence of small hyperdense lesions on CT, and revealed multiple diffuse hypodense parenchymal lesions with hemosiderin deposits, indicative of cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
- Diagnosis of the underlying pathology is of importance, as aspirin use, and antiplatelet use in general, may in these patients be associated with microbleed burden.

How this study scored 38/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 21 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 38 out of 100.
