Multiple intracranial hemorrhages in a normotensive demented patient: A probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy

Abstract

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is the most common cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Repeated bleeding may be presented with vascular dementia. We have reported a 68-year-old normotensive demented patient with proba-ble CAA presented with hemiparesia, headache and vomiting. According to the experience of this case, it is recom-mended to consider CAA for normotensive elderly patients presented with multiple and superficial intracerebral he-morrhage.
