Association Between Hippocampal Volumes and Cognition in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Accumulating evidence suggests that gray matter atrophy, often considered a marker of Alzheimer disease (AD), can also result from cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a form of sporadic CSVD, diagnosed through neuroimaging criteria, that often co-occurs with AD pathology and leads to cognitive impairment. We sought to identify the role of hippocampal integrity in the development of cognitive impairment in a cohort of patients with possible and probable CAA.
