Abstract
Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is an infrequent vascular malformation. It is composed of a nidus, arterial feeders, and venous drainage. Some special features differentiate it from the common arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The nidus has normal cerebral tissue intermingled and occupies a large portion of the brain. There is a frequent transdural arterial supply. Arterial feeders and draining veins are of small caliber concerning the nidus size. Ischemic strokes are the most common clinical event. Intracranial bleeding when occurs has a worse prognosis due to its high recurrence rate. We have presented two cases of CPA in pediatric patients who required surgical resolution of their acute episodeThis publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
