Core Tip
Core Tip: This article reports a very rare case of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, namely ischemic cerebral proliferative angiopathy. After consulting major databases, we found that cases of ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebral proliferative angiopathy have been reported, but the biggest feature of this case is the phenomenon of hemorrhagic transformation after ischemia. So far, there are few reports of such diseases globally, and their pathogenesis is currently unclear. The diagnosis and treatment methods are limited. Therefore, this article reviews relevant literature to better understand this rare disease and provides clues for further clinical research.
