BACKGROUND
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic vasculitis involving the nervous system in 20-54% of cases; lesions of peripheral nerves are commonest, while manifestation in the central nervous system (CNS) is rarer. Focal hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a very rare complication of WG. This
Headaches can constitute a direct symptom and possibly the preliminary symptom of several autoimmune diseases and systemic vasculitis. In the majority of cases, the characteristics of the headache are not on their own sufficient to establish a certain diagnosis, which has to be based on the clinical
A 29-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Rheumatology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to intermittent rashes, fever and headache. Palpable purpura were symmetrically distributed on the extremities and trunk. Other manifestations included headache with nausea and vomiting.
Vasculitis is a spectrum of clinicopathologic disorders defined by inflammation of systemic and central nervous system (CNS)arteries and veins of differing caliber with variable tissue injury. At the onset of systemic vasculitis, headache can occur in association with constitutional symptoms without
Systemic vasculitides (SVs) is a group of diseases characterised by inflammation/necrosis of the blood vessel wall in various organs. Simultaneous brain and heart involvement is a cause of increased morbidity/mortality in SV. We aimed to present evidence of concurrent brain/heart involvement in SV
The association between pain and inflammation and certain clinical signs led physicians to suspect a connection between immunological mechanisms and headache syndromes even years ago. This review intends to give an overview of the literature which deals with immunological mechanisms in headache
Autoimmune diseases are a group of heterogeneous inflammatory disorders characterized by systemic or localized inflammation, leading to ischemia and tissue destruction. These include disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus and related diseases, systemic vasculitides, and central nervous system
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether there is clinical or biochemical evidence for a transient systemic inflammation during active periods of cluster headache.
METHODS
Twenty-seven male and female consecutively selected patients with episodic cluster headache filled in questionnaires aiming at detecting
Although headaches are common in the general population and have many causes, headaches secondary to inflammatory processes in the blood vessels in the Central Nervous System (CNS) are not so common. The most common types of vasculitis that are associated with headaches include primary CNS
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to describe the characteristics of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) associated with systemic vasculitis.
METHODS
A standardised questionnaire was used for a nationwide retrospective multicentre study in 2013 to collect clinical, radiological and outcome
OBJECTIVE
The authors present a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) associated with a systemic necrotizing vasculitis with mixed features of Wegener granulomatosis and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN).
METHODS
Case report.
RESULTS
A 29-year-old woman developed a
Giant cell arteritis remains the most common systemic vasculitis in patients over the age of 50. Headache is the most common symptom, but is not invariably present. The headache may take almost any form, and may resemble any of the primary headaches, even cluster. Prompt diagnosis is important to
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary systemic vasculitis in older adults. Patients usually are older than 50 years and have an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Westergren) greater than 50 mm/h. Headache is a common symptom, occurring in approximately 90% of patients. However, the
The pathogenesis of central nervous system disease in relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is unknown but may be related to cerebral arteritis. Previous reports have described clinical and histopathologic evidence of cerebral vasculitis in RPC; however, a neuroimaging correlate has not been reported. We
OBJECTIVE
To report an atypical case of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with optic neuritis revealing Behçet's disease.
METHODS
A 37-year-old man was worked up for headache and progressive decreased bilateral visual acuity most profound in the left eye. Initial ophthalmologic exam was
