title: Association of angiitis of central nervous system, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and Alzheimer's disease: report of an autopsy case.
abstract: The association of angiitis of central nervous system (ACNS) with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) suggests a physiopathological relationship between these two affections. Few cases are reported in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We describe here a clinicopathological case associating ACNS, CAA, and AD. We discuss the aetiology of ACNS and its relationship with cerebral deposition of beta A4 amyloid protein (betaA4).
