Abstract
cSS (particularly if disseminated) is a common and characteristic feature of CAA. Chronic lobar ICH is an independent risk factor for cSS, but the causal direction and mechanism of association are uncertain. Hemorrhage into the subarachnoid space, independent of previous (chronic) lobar ICH, must also contribute to cSS in CAA. Transient focal neurologic episodes are the strongest clinical marker of cSS.
