[Cerebral amyloid angiopathy apropos of a case. Review of the literature].

The authors present the case of an 83 year-old man with cerebral amyloid angiopathy who had three successive lobar intracerebral hematomas within 4 weeks. There were neither a predisposing familial factor nor cardiovascular risk factors nor any other cause favouring cerebral bleeding. The autopsy revealed amyloid deposits in small cortical and meningeal arteries. No other lesions of the Alzheimer's disease was found.
