Abstract
|
|
|
|
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is an uncommon disorder restricted to the brain and spinal cord and leading to inflammation and destruction of vessels without evidence of vasculitis outside the central nervous system. Current treatments of PACNS are based on extrapolation from other forms of systemic vasculitis and retrospective assessments because there are no prospective studies of therapeutic strategies. We report a case of recurrent PACNS that showed a successful response to rituximab treatment.
