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

Ahmad Chitsaz et al. J Res Med Sci. 2012 Jan.

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 probable CAA presented with hemiparesia, headache and vomiting. According to the experience of this case, it is recommended to consider CAA for normotensive elderly patients presented with multiple and superficial intracerebral hemorrhage.

Keywords: Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy; Dementia; Intra Cerebral Hemorrhage.
