ABSTRACT
Primary CNS Vasculitis - An Overview Abstract. Cerebral vasculitis, especially the primary vasculitis of the central nervous systems (primary CNS vasculitis), are rare inflammatory diseases of the small- and medium-sized vessels of the CNS. The pathogenesis of primary CNS vasculitis is unclear. Infectious triggers are hypothesized to induce an activation of the immune system with resulting inflammation of the blood vessels within the CNS. Clinically, primary CNS vasculitis presents heterogeneously with leading symptoms such as headache, memory impairment and other neurological deficits. A broad diagnostic work-up prior to treatment initiation is crucial. Treatment consists of immunotherapy (pulse and maintenance therapy) and requires long-term neurological treatment and follow-up due to the increased risk of recurrence of the disease.
