ABSTRACT
The prevalence and cerebral hemorrhage of cerebral amyloid angiopathy(CAA) are age-related. It is rare in young adults. The authors report on CAA coexisting with an arteriovenous malformation(AVM) in a 30-year-old male, who present with the sudden onset of headache and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cerebral hemorrhage with an AVM. The AVM was completely removed through the hematoma and the histological section obtained from the periphery of the hematoma showed the typical findings of CAA. The epsilon4 allele of apoprotein E(apoE) was identified in genotype determination.
