Cerebral amyloid angiopathy and multiple intracerebral hematomas.

Two cases of simultaneous multiple intracerebral hematomas due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are described in patients who were both normotensive, elderly men. Because of their superficial location and the increasing feasibility of early and accurate diagnosis by computed tomographic scan, hemorrhage due to CAA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of single or multiple hemorrhagic lesions of the brain.
