Importance Cerebral amyloid angiopathy–related inflammation (CAA-ri) is an important
diagnosis to reach in clinical practice because many patients with the disease respond to
immunosuppressive therapy. Reliable noninvasive diagnostic criteria for CAA-ri would allow
some patients to avoid the risk of brain biopsy. Objective To test the sensitivity and specificity
of clinical and neuroimaging-based criteria for CAA-ri. Design, Setting, and Participants We
modified the previously proposed clinicoradiological criteria and retrospectively analyzed …
