Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) , a common finding in the aging brain, is caused by accumulation of amyloid beta protein in the cerebral vasculature. Recent studies have revealed that CAA has a wider clinical spectrum than previously recognized. CAA should be in differential diagnosis of patients with lobar intracerebral hemorrhage, cognitive impairment, transient neurological symptoms, headache, and other neurological manifestations. Understanding of the growing clinical spectrum of CAA would lead to a more appropriate approach towards management of patients with CAA-related neurological disorders. In this symposium, experts in this field discuss (1) the wide clinical spectrum of CAA-related cerebrovascular disorders, (2) CAA-related cognitive impairment and inflammation, and (3) management of CAA, including current clinical implications and future perspectives for therapies against CAA.
