World J Clin Cases. 2021 Jul 16;9(20):5730-5736. doi: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i20.5730. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular disease characterized by the presence of diffuse vascular proliferation, progressive vascular hyperflow and vasodilation of multiple vessels in the normal brain parenchyma. Unlike cerebral arteriovenous malformations, CPA has a mixed appearance between that of lesions with cell proliferation and endothelial proliferation. To date, the pathogenesis of CPA is unclear, in which changes induced by cortical ischemia in the elastic layer of the blood supply artery and smooth muscle cells may be involved. CASE SUMMARY: In this article, we retrospectively analyzed a case of hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic CPA diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography and reviewed the related literature for further exploration of its pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. CONCLUSIO N: The information in the present case report may facilitate further clinical research on this cerebrovascular disease.
