PURPOSE To describe our experience with MR and angiography in diagnosing intracranial
vasculitis and to test the hypothesis that MR can be used to screen for patients unlikely to …

Cerebral vasculitis is an unusual disorder with numerous causes. One such entity,
noninfectious granulomatous angiitis of the nervous system (GANS), is an extremely rare …

Purpose: MR imaging and cerebral angiography were correlated in patients with primary
angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) to assess the relative roles of these imaging …

OBJECTIVE. We attempt to determine whether angiography is indicated in patients with
suspected central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis who present with negative findings on …

Central nervous system vasculitis (CNSV) is a rare inflammatory disease associated with
many causes (1) that usually involve the small vessels of the parenchyma and meninges (2 …

We performed MR (magnetic resonance) brain imaging on 24 patients with a systemic
vasculitis. MRI proved to be a sensitive method for detecting brain lesions (clinically silent or …

The purpose of this study was to determine the technical capacity and diagnostic accuracy of
3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in suspected cerebral vasculitis in …

Despite recent advances in neuroimaging and clinical laboratory medicine, the diagnosis of
vasculitis of the central nervous system (CNS) remains a diagnostic challenge to the …

Inflammatory stenoses of cerebral blood vessels, although rare in general, are an important
cause of cerebral ischemia in younger patients. The diagnosis is often difficult. The first step …

Cerebral vasculitis is a serious but uncommon condition which presents considerable
difficulties in recognition, diagnosis and treatment. We studied eight consecutive patients in …
