Challenges in Managing Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in Alzheimer's Disease: Insights from a Case of Down Syndrome‐associated Alzheimer Disease (DSAD)
CAA is particularly common in DSAD due to the genetic foundation of AD, which accelerates beta-amyloid pathology in both the brain parenchyma and blood vessels. This case underscores a significant gap in the literature concerning the coexistence of CAA in DSAD and acute ischemic stroke. Presently, there is no established evidence to guide management in such cases, and this issue is likely underreported due to limited data on reperfusion therapy for stroke in individuals with DS. The genetic characteristics of DSAD present a unique opportunity to explore the progression and interplay of these conditions, potentially providing valuable insights to inform treatment strategies and enhance outcomes for all patients.
