Abstract

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is an uncommon condition characterized by widespread intravascular shunting. It is crucial to distinguish it from cerebral arteriovenous malformations. This case report focuses on a patient with cerebral proliferative angiopathy, illustrating a well-documented and progressive emergence of hyper vascular shunting extensively affecting the right hemisphere, along with its treatment. The patient’s condition was supported by angiographic and tomographic findings. This case represents the initial documentation of the evolution of cerebral proliferative angiopathy and its corresponding treatment.
