Figure 1 Imaging of the patient’s brain.
A: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showing multiple lesions in the left parieto-occipital lobe that do not match the vascular territories; B: Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; C: T2-weighted image; D: T1-weighted image.
Figure 2 Histopathology of the patient’s brain.
A: Brain biopsy of the left occipital lobe (hematoxylin and eosin staining, × 100) showing granulomatosis vasculitis in the medium-sized blood vessels; B: Brain biopsy of the left occipital lobe (immunohistochemical staining against amyloid β, × 100) showing deposits of amyloid β on the walls of medium-sized blood vessels under the arachnoid; C: Brain biopsy of left occipital lobe (immunohistochemical staining against amyloid β, × 200) showing multinucleated macrophages phagocytosing amyloid.
