Abstract
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy frequently causes recurrent intracerebral hemor rhages in elderly patients who do not have systemic hypertension. Surgery s hould be reserved for conditions which cannot be controlled by medical trea tment. When surgery is needed, potential complications (such as bleeding ne ar 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 intra cerebral hemorrhages is presented.
