Intracerebral haemorrhage in CADASIL. A case report.
CADASIL is an autosomal dominant inherited arteriopathy caused by a point mutation in the Notch3 gene. Classically, it is characterised by recurrent ischemic strokes, often resulting in mental decline. Intracerebral haemorrhages in CADASIL have rarely been reported. We describe a young male with a genetically proven CADASIL who developed an intracerebral haemorrhage while on anticoagulant therapy.
