Late onset aura may herald cerebral amyloid angiopathy: A case report

Conclusion In patients with a late onset of migraine aura, doctors must consider other under-recognized causes of transient neurological symptoms, such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Blood-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging sequences are the best tool for the early detection of an underlying pathology and therefore treatment with antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs should be avoided as this may increase the risk of haemorrhage.
