Abstract | BACKGROUND: CASE DESCRIPTION: CONCLUSIONS: This is the first case report of sporadic CAA associated with the same mutation causing hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis of the Icelandic type. Sporadic CAA may thus be associated with genetic mutations in some patients. The frequency of these mutations is yet to be determined.
