It causes intraparenchimal and subarachnoid bleeding with hemosiderin deposits and multiple infarcts presenting with headache , stroke and epilepsy . Such lesions may contribute to cognitive impairment . So far , no therapy is available . In future , amyloid in the vessel wall might be addressed by amyloid disaggregating drugs and amyloid antibodies .
