ABSTRACT
Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular lesion. Bleeding from CPA is uncommon, but the risk of rebleeding is high once it bleeds. We describe a case of CPA with multiple intra- and periventricular hemorrhages during 30-year follow-up. Recurrent bleeding in these areas are common in moyamoya disease. These lesions may share the cause of bleeding proliferation of the periventricular vessels functioning as collateral pathways. Revascularization surgery for CPA may attenuate the vascular proliferation in the vicinity of the ventricle, which may prevent rebleeding.
