Abstract
Cerebral proliferate angiopathy is a rare congenital vascular malformation due to anomalous cerebral angiogenesis causing abnormal cerebral vascular architecture, which differ from other classical arterio – venous malformations. Here we report a case cerebral proliferative angiopathy in a 42 years old male patient which seizure disorder and left hemiparesis. It is essential now to recognize this entity to avoid aggressive treatment or intervention thus we can achieve better prognosis.
