Cerebral Proliferative Angiopathy
RI PT
Seven year-old boy presented with severe, right-sided headache pain, with left-sided progressive weakness and mental status changes, initially diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation (AVM). MRI showed large right parietal occipital vascular malformation. In October 2014, he had episodic left-sided weakness and numbness, increasing in frequency and duration. Cerebral angiography in December 2014 revealed cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA), with focal arteriovenous shunting. He was started on aspirin and followed for progression of symptoms.

CPA is a vascular anomaly of the brain, which differs from a classic brain AVM in blood vessel architecture, natural history, clinical presentation, and treatment [1,2,3,4]. Clinical presentation is characterized by seizures (45%), headaches (41%) and progressive neurologic deficits (12%), with strokelike symptoms and transient ischemic attacks. Imaging shows a diffuse network of densely enhancing vascular spaces with intermingled normal and abnormal brain parenchyma, often involving an entire hemisphere or multiple lobes of the brain [1,2].The pathology is characterized by cortical ischemic leading to endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis [2,3]. Treatment options are conservative and symptom-based with anti-epileptic and headache medications. Interventional treatments, such as targeted endovascular embolization, surgical calvarial burrhole formation, and encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) revascularization surgery have been used with some benefit [1,4].

Careful monitoring with developmental screening and neuropsychological evaluation can identify any early or progressive learning deficits as a result of tissue ischemia during pediatric brain development.
