Perivascular Spaces Volume in Sporadic and Hereditary (Dutch-Type) Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Background and Purpose— Magnetic resonance imaging visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (CSO-PVS) have been associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).We aimed to further confirm this link by evaluating CSO-PVS volume in pathologically-demonstrated sporadic and genetically-demonstrated hereditary forms of the disease. Methods— We studied a retrospective hospital-based cohort consisting of 63 individuals aged >55 having brain magnetic resonance imaging and pathological assessment of CAA (mean age, 73.6±8.5; 46% female), and a separate cohort consisting of 26 carriers,...

Background and Purpose— Magnetic resonance imaging visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (CSO-PVS) have been associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).We aimed to further confirm this link by evaluating CSO-PVS volume in pathologically-demonstrated sporadic and genetically-demonstrated hereditary forms of the disease. Methods— We studied a retrospective hospital-based cohort consisting of 63 individuals aged >55 having brain magnetic resonance imaging and pathological assessment of CAA (mean age, 73.6±8.5; 46% female), and a separate cohort consisting of 26 carriers, and 28 noncarriers of the hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis–Dutch type (mean age, 46.7±12.8; 61.1% female). CSO-PVS volume was quantified on a single magnetic resonance imaging slice using a computer-assisted segmentation method and expressed as the relative volume of the intracranial volume in that particular slice (CSO-PVS relative volume). We compared CSO-PVS relative volume (1) between subjects with and without the disease in both cohorts; (2) between non-CAA, CAA without hemorrhage, and CAA with hemorrhage cases in the sporadic CAA cohort. All variables reaching P <0.1 in bivariate analyses were entered in logistic regression models. Results— In both sporadic and Dutch cohorts, cases with CAA had significantly higher CSO-PVS relative volume than cases without (median [IQR]: 3.7% [2.5–5.3] versus 1.8% [1.2–2.4], P <0.0001; 3.8% [0.6–6.2] versus 0.7% [0.4–1.6], P =0.007; respectively). In linear regression models, sporadic CAA was associated with higher CSO-PVS relative volume ( P =0.008). In the sporadic CAA cohort, compared with non-CAA cases, CSO-PVS relative volume was higher in both CAA with hemorrhage and without hemorrhage (4.4% [2.6–6.1] and 3% [2.4–3.6] versus 1.8% [1.2–2.4], P <0.001 and P =0.005, respectively). Higher CSO-PVS relative volume was associated with CAA in regression models, both when hemorrhage was present (odds ratio, 2.63; [95% confidence interval, 1.33–5.18]; P =0.005) ...
