ObjectiveWe present here a case report of a patient with a family history of intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) who presented with multiple large lobar hemorrhages in rapid succession, with cognitive sparing, who was found to have a mutation in the β-amyloid coding sequence of amyloid precursor protein (Leu705Val), termed the Piedmont-type mutation, the second ever reported case of this form of hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).MethodsTargeted pathologic examination was performed aided by the use of ex vivo MRI.ResultsSevere CAA was observed mainly involving the leptomeningeal vessels and, to a far lesser extent, cortical vessels, with no amyloid plaques or neurofibrillary tangles.ConclusionsThis leptomeningeal pattern of β-amyloid deposition coupled with multiple large hemorrhages demonstrates unique pathophysiologic characteristics of CAA associated with the Piedmont-type mutation, suggesting a potential association between leptomeningeal CAA and larger ICHs.
