ABSTRACT
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy(CAA) is a nonspecific disease entity that has been associated with a number of neuropathologic conditions, the most prominent being dementia and cerebral hemorrhage. It occurs more commonly than is generally appreciated, with implications that may be overlooked. As amyloid deposits are found in the vessels of the leptomeninges and cerebral cortex, the location and size of the hematoma, with cortical and subarachnoid extension, help to differentiate amyloid angiopathy from other causes of intracerebral hemorrhage in the elderly. It has, in addition, characteristic pathological features, and the existence of these, together with the occurance of nontraumatic normotensive spontaneous primary cerebral hemorrhage in the elderly, should indicate the existence of CAA. The authors report a case of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related intracerebral hemorrhage.
