Summary

This study followed 170 older adults who had a type of stroke caused by cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), a condition where protein builds up in brain blood vessels. Researchers wanted to see if a specific finding on MRI scans, called cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), could help predict who would have another stroke. Participants were monitored for up to 24 months to track any new strokes and related symptoms.
