Age-related macular degeneration is associated with probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy: A case-control study

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common retinal degenerative disorder among older individuals. Amyloid deposits, a hallmark of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), may be involved in the pathogenesis of AMD. Since amyloid deposits may contribute to the development of both AMD and CAA, we hypothesized that patients with AMD have a higher prevalence of CAA.
