[Cerebral amyloid angiopathy. A clinicopathological study (author's transl)].
A case with repeated cerebral hemorrhages associated with severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is reported. CAA may be considered a rare but important cause of cerebral hemorrhages and of local cerebrovascular lesions in the aged. The morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of CAA are discussed. The etiology is still unknown; probably more than one mechanism may be involved.
