MR perfusion imaging in a case of cerebral proliferative angiopathy.
Proliferative angiopathy is an uncommon type of cerebral arteriovenous shunt characterized by an extensive capillary network with normal brain intermingled and few clinical symptoms (mostly seizures and headaches). This case report depicts an extensive proliferative angiopathy located in the right hemisphere. Its hemodynamic disturbances were studied with MR perfusion imaging (local or remote areas of increased time to peak, decrease ratio of signal, and relative regional cerebral blood volume values).
