Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular abnormality and separate from "classical" brain arteriovenous malformations. Haemorrhage due to proliferative angiopathy is rarely reported. We describe the clinical features, imaging findings and targeted endovascular management for a 12-year-old boy having proliferative angiopathy of the posterior fossa presenting with haemorrhage. Targeted endovascular embolisation in CPA is not previously described in the literature. The optimal treatment options for haemorrhagic CPA are debatable, and we wish to highlight the role of targeted treatment for culprit focal lesion demonstrable on imaging.
脑增殖性血管病(CPA)是一种罕见的血管异常,与“经典”脑动静脉畸形不同。因增殖性血管病导致的出血鲜有报道。我们描述了一名12岁患有后颅窝增殖性血管病并伴有出血的男孩的临床特征、影像学表现及靶向血管内治疗。文献中此前未描述过CPA的靶向血管内栓塞术。出血性CPA的最佳治疗方案存在争议,我们希望强调针对影像学上可显示的罪魁祸首局灶性病变进行靶向治疗的作用。
