Clinico-radiological features of cerebral proliferative angiopathy: A large case series from India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Based on angiographic features, a rare subgroup, different from classical brain AVMs, called cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) was suggested by Lasjaunias et al. in 1989. There are only few reports of CPA described from Asia. Liu et al. has described 5 cases of CPA from China. The objective of study was to evaluate the clinico-radiological features of patients with CPA in our cohort and to find out the differences between our study and the study by Lasjaunias and Liu et al.

Methods

We retrospectively analysed cases of CPA from March 2012 to April 2020. All radiological images of the patients with AVMs were studied and findings suggestive of CPA were identified. We found 10 patients with CPA out of 272 cases of AVM (10/272) and described the various demograph
