Case reports reveal cognitive impairment and hemorrhages in patients with iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy, suggesting possible underdiagnosis.

Cognitive impairment was noted in both patients, with one having rapid progression and the other persistent hemorrhages.
A systematic review indicates that most patients with iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy show amyloid deposition without tau pathology.
Clinical implications suggest that iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy may be underdiagnosed, especially in those without symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages.
The pathophysiology of tau pathology in iCAA remains unclear, highlighting gaps in current understanding.

Costa et al. (2025) studied this question.
