1 Background Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is typically an age-related, slowly progressive, and largely non-inflammatory small vessel disease, characterized by the deposition of beta-amyloid (Aβ) within the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal vessels [1]. CAA is now well established as a common cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and a major contributor to cognitive impairment in older individuals.

1 Introduction Heterogeneous brain volume loss has been observed following stroke [1] or traumatic brain injury [2]. We hypothesize that atrophy may also occur after neurosurgical procedures. Epilepsy surgery, with its standardized procedures, provides an excellent field for studying and identifying specific atrophy patterns. Current developments revealed the network character of epilepsy [3, 4]. Particularly, the hippocampus represents a significant junction and is connected to many structures [5].
