Core Tip

Core Tip: Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a type of ischemic cerebrovascular disease that is extremely rare in pediatric patients and has serious implications for developing children. However, reports of these disorders are limited, and no uniform reference for diagnosis and treatment options exists. This article reviews the literature on pediatric CPA from a case of CPA in a child with predominantly neurological dysfunction. We summarize the relevant clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and pathogenic explorations and provide suggestions for subsequent research on this disorder.
