Recent onset of altered mental status and cognitive impairment in a 67-year-old man. a Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI: diffuse hyperintensity of the white matter, more pronounced in the right parietal region. b Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map: the white-matter hyperintensity represents vasogenic oedema. c GE T2*-weighted image: small punctate hypointense foci in the right parietal cortex (open arrow). d SWI minIP: increased visualisation of markedly hypointense foci surrounding the white matter abnormalities which correspond to multiple cerebral microbleeds. On the basis of SWI imaging findings, CAA with diffuse inflammatory changes was suspected and steroid therapy was administered. e Follow-up MRI at 3 months showed significant reduction of the vasogenic oedema
