Abstract

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) is a Cause of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in a Significant Proportion of Normotensive Patients. Two Cases of Pathologically Proved Multiple Intracerebral Hemorrhages Due to CAA Are Reported. These Hemorrhages Are Accurately Demonstrated on Computed Tomography and Are Typically Superficial in Location. CAA Should Be Considered as a Cause of Such Hemorrhages in Elderly Patients Who Are Often Normotensive and Demented.
