Cerebral proliferative angiopathy is a rare type of cerebral vascular malformation. It shows distinct angiomorphological features with a clinical presentation that differs to that of classic arteriovenous malformation of the brain. We describe a 15-year-old girl who presented with recurrent headache and limb weakness. A subsequent angiographic diagnosis of cerebral proliferative angiopathy was made. The clinical features, pathophysiology, and treatment of this condition are reviewed.

增生性腦血管病是一種罕見的腦血管畸形。它顯示出獨特的血管形態特徵,其臨床表現與大腦的典型腦血管畸形不同。本文描述一名15歲女性患者出現反覆頭痛發作和四肢無力。腦血管造影診斷為增生性腦血管病。本文同時綜述該病的臨床特徵、病理生理學和治療方法。
