Abstract
We describe a novel presentation of cerebral amyloidosis. The strongly enhancing appearance of this deep white matter mass with large ‘stippled’ hematoma in a young patient has not been previously described. Our case serves to highlight the varied imaging appearance of cerebral amyloidosis, as well as the therapeutic dilemma. CAA should be considered when faced with the presentation of an unusual hematoma or enhancing mass.
