Abstract
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare angiopathy inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Because it manifests as nonspecific symptoms such as migraine with aura, ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack, cognitive impairment, and dementia, the diagnosis may begin with a physician’s suspicion. Here, we describe a 69-year-old female patient with severe headaches and uncontrolled blood pressure at our emergency department and been diagnosed with CADASIL.
