Postmortem examination of an elderly male with cortical blindness and features of both cortical and subcortical dementia revealed extensive neuronal dropout most marked in the occipital cortex, moderate gliosis, rare neuritic plaques, no neurofibrillary tangles, and extensive Congophilic angiopathy. The unprecedented association of Congophilic angiopathy with nonspecific dementia provides further support for the concept that Congophilic angiopathy is usually a nonspecific manifestation of neuronal degeneration and of little clinical significance except when it results in intracerebral hemorrhage.
对一名患有皮质盲以及皮质和皮质下痴呆特征的老年男性进行的尸检显示，广泛的神经元脱失在枕叶皮质最为明显，有中度胶质细胞增生，罕见神经炎性斑块，无神经原纤维缠结，以及广泛的嗜刚果红血管病。嗜刚果红血管病与非特异性痴呆前所未有的关联进一步支持了这样一种观念，即嗜刚果红血管病通常是神经元变性的非特异性表现，除了导致脑出血外临床意义不大。
