title: Lobar hemorrhages.
abstract: The lobar localization of a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage occurs in one third of all cases; the most frequent cause is represented by amyloid angiopathy. The clinical symptomatology depends on the dimensions of the hematic collection and of the lobe. The diagnosis is made by CT, but also MRI must performed in order to exclude any vascular malformation or neoplasms, and in young patients a cerebral angiography must be done in order to exclude small arteriovenous or dural malformations.
