Abstract

Objective To explore CT findings and clinical value of cerebral hemorrhage caused by cerebral amyloidosis angiopathy(CAA). Methods The CT and MR findings of 15 cases cerebral hemorrhage caused by CAA were analyzed and reviewed the literatures and pathology. Results The imaging characters of hemorrhage caused by CAA included multiple foci, mutiple shapes, mutiple locations, recurrent hemorrhage, predominant in the temporal-apical-occipital-frontal lobe and hemorrhage breaking into the ventricles etc. Conclusion There are characteristic CT findings of hemorrhage caused by CAA, and combining their clinical presentation can enhance awareness and imaging diagnosis rate about this disease.
