Recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages in cerebral amyloid angiopathy: a case report.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy frequently causes recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages in elderly patients who do not have systemic hypertension. Surgery should be reserved for conditions which cannot be controlled by medical treatment. When surgery is needed, potential complications (such as bleeding near the operation site or remote area) should be kept in mind. A case study of a 66-year-old woman with cerebral amyloid angiopathy and recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages is presented.
