Cerebral proliferative angiopathy: A rare clinical entity with peculiar angiographic features

The absence of dominant feeders or flow-related aneurysms, the presence of proximal stenosis on the feeding arteries, the extensive transdural supply to both healthy and pathological tissues, the large size (which might be lobar or even hemispheric), the presence of capillary angioectasia and the on...

More Information
Summary:The absence of dominant feeders or flow-related aneurysms, the presence of proximal stenosis on the feeding arteries, the extensive transdural supply to both healthy and pathological tissues, the large size (which might be lobar or even hemispheric), the presence of capillary angioectasia and the only moderately enlarged veins (compared with the size of the nidus). Because one of the major pathomechanisms of this disease is ischemia (which in itself is probably multifactorial owing to incompetent angiogenesis, "steal" phenomena, arterial stenosis, and capillary wall involvement) a therapy that enhances cortical blood supply can be indicated.
