Abstract excerpt
In a hereditary variant of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type, supratentorial microbleeds were found to occur independently of the presence of hypertension, whereas hypertension probably contributed to the development of cerebellar microbleeds. This predictable hereditary variant of CAA may be a useful model to study microbleeds in relation to CAA.
