    Here is a summary of the prognosis of patients who have had an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA): The prognosis after ICH due to CAA depends on factors like the size and location of the hemorrhage. In general: - Mortality rates are high, ranging from 30-50% at 1 month. Larger hemorrhages and those in strategic locations like the brainstem carry the worst prognosis. - About 50% of survivors will have long-term disability, with deficits ranging from mild cognitive impairment to severe hemiparesis. - The risk of recurrent hemorrhage is high, estimated at 15-30% at 1 year

    Q) Amyloid angiopathy commonly affects the vasculature of white matter?

    Answer: False

    Explanation:

    It affects the cortical and lepto-meningeal vessels. It usually does not affect the white
    matter. However, there can be changes in the white matter such as odema. The
    haemorrhages are commonly multiple, cortical but can extend into the white matter. In the
    cortex the amyloid deposition is usually in the media and in the leptomeningeal vessels the
    deposition is on the adventia.

    (ref.: Burger PC et al. Surgical pathology of the nervous system and the coverings; David
    Ellison et al. Neuropathology a reference text of CNS pathology)

    Could anyone please expand on the prognosis of patients who have had ICH from amyloid
    angiopathy?
