Abstract
Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular abnormality characterized by transdural supply, stenoses of feeding arteries, and intermingled normal brain parenchyma in abnormal vessels. CPA is often regarded as a separate entity from "classical" brain arteriovenous malformations in angioarchitecture, natural history, clinical presentation, and treatment. Bleeding from CPA is uncommon, but once bleeding occurs, the risk of rebleeding is high. Herein, we describe a case of cerebral hemorrhage caused by CPA. We performed two different endovascular treatments: partial embolization with glue for a ruptured aneurysm and coil embolization for an unruptured growing aneurysm. To our knowledge, this is the first report of serial endovascular treatments for hemorrhagic CPA that included a ruptured aneurysm and a growing unruptured aneurysm.
期刊介绍:
This new peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of neurology. Clinicians and researchers are given a tool to disseminate their personal experience to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. To complement the contributions supplementary material is welcomed. The reports are searchable according to the key words supplied by the authors; it will thus be possible to search across the entire growing collection of case reports with universally used terms, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
