We're excited be supporting the @iCAAassociation 8th International CAA Conference - the first to be held outside North America and Europe. Director of @cha_murdoch, @HamidRSohrabi has played a key role in making it possible. Learn more and register -> icaaconference.org/
Thank you for the hard work and constant learning! #CAA #CerebralAmyloidAngiopathy
#OSTIF with @a_charidimou (at 3 am in Boston 😱) giving us an excellent update on the new Boston criteria and how to manage amyloid spells! What a start to the weekend 🤩

🧠🩸Convexity Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Common causes 🧑🏿‍🎄Younger pt: think RCVS (thunderclap HA🤯) 🧙🏿‍♂️Older pt: think CAA (amyloid spells🪄) ➡️Any age: r/o cortical venous path (broad spectrum of other rare DDx👇🏿) #NeuroTwitter #NeuroRad #Neurology #Neurosurgery #RadEd #stroke
Focal convexity hemorrhage, superficial siderosis & WM lesions in 50+ patient with TFNE, IS NOT always CAA. Other less common causes need to be considered, one such example: a vascular malformation/dural AVF fed by middle meningeal artery; embolized & WM edema resolved.

The decision to donate a person’s brain can be difficult. It’s important to start the conversation early, rather than waiting until there’s a medical emergency. MADRC’s brain donation information sheet is a good tool to start the conversation. bit.ly/MADRCBrain #WeAreMADRC
