Abstract
Amyloid-β transmission has been described in patients both with and without iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; however, there is little information regarding the impact of this acquired amyloid-β pathology during life. Here, for the first time, we describe in detail the clinical and neuroimaging findings in three patients with early-onset symptomatic amyloid-β cerebral amyloid angiopathy following childhood exposure to cadaveric dura (by neurosurgical grafting in two patients, and tumour embolization in a third). Our observations provide further in vivo evidence that cerebral amyloid angiopathy might be caused by transmission of amyloid-β seeds (prions) present in cadaveric dura, and has diagnostic relevance for younger patients presenting with suspected cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
