CAA-RI is a condition that predominantly affects parietal lobes according to our case series and this involvement seems to be directly related to a greater burden of microbleeds, cortical siderosis, WMH, and lobar hemorrhages on these lobes. Decreased levels of CSF amyloid beta protein plus increased total tau protein should be considered as part of the diagnostic criteria of CAA-RI. We recommend corticosteroids using, as they have been demonstrated to be very effective in managing CAA-RI.
