The diagnostic criteria for CAA highlight its association with spontaneous lobar hemorrhage, convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and cortical superficial siderosis but not with subdural hematoma (SDH). This article presents a three-patient case series of CAA who experienced a lobar ICH associated with an SDH, underscoring a potentially under-recognized correlation between an acute ICH and coexistent SDH. Case presentation: We present a case series of three patients in a single university medical center who experienced acute-onset lobar ICH with a concurrent SDH, treated with evacuation. Histopathological examination established the diagnosis of CAA in all three cases. This case series underscores a potentially under-recognized association between an acute ICH and coexistent SDH in the context of CAA. Conclusions: Considering our findings, we emphasize the possibility that SDH may be a more frequent manifestation of CAA than previously recognized. Therefore, patients with CAA who initially present with acute SDH may be underdiagnosed, consequently leading to delayed identification and missed opportunities for proper risk assessment and management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/neurolint17080125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,8]],"date-time":"2025-08-08T08:09:35Z","timestamp":1754640575000},"page":"125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Coexisting Subdural Hematoma in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Matija","family":"Zupan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Neurology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lara","family":"Straus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Neurology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6283-4348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toma\u017e","family":"Velnar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5536-7518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matic","family":"Bo\u0161njak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"},{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0860-4410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulf","family":"Jensen-Kondering","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology UKSH, Campus L\u00fcbeck, 23538 L\u00fcbeck, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4483-9364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno","family":"Splavski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Dubrovnik General Hospital, 20000 Dubrovnik, Croatia"},{"name":"Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, University of Zagreb, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9494-160X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Senta","family":"Frol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Neurology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaneurol.2023.4918","article-title":"Cerebral amyloid angiopathy and risk of isolated nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage","volume":"81","author":"Rivier","year":"2024","journal-title":"JAMA Neurol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2017.07.099","article-title":"Subdural hemorrhage from cerebral amyloid angiopathy\u2013related intracerebral hemorrhage: A risk factor for postoperative hemorrhage","volume":"107","author":"Xia","year":"2017","journal-title":"World Neurosurg."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"714","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(22)00208-3","article-title":"The Boston Criteria Version 2.0 for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: A Multicentre, Retrospective, MRI\u2013neuropathology Diagnostic Accuracy Study","volume":"21","author":"Charidimou","year":"2022","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"888","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaneurol.2024.1595","article-title":"Cerebral amyloid angiopathy and nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage","volume":"81","author":"Bax","year":"2024","journal-title":"JAMA Neurol."},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.66.1.79","article-title":"Association of subdural hematoma with increased mortality in lobar intracerebral hemorrhage","volume":"66","author":"Patel","year":"2009","journal-title":"Arch.
