Abstract
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is the most common cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Repeated bleeding
may be presented with vascular dementia. We have reported a 68-year-old normotensive demented patient with probable
CAA presented with hemiparesia, headache and vomiting. According to the experience of this case, it is recommended
to consider CAA for normotensive elderly patients presented with multiple and superficial intracerebral hemorrhage.
