The manifestation of systemic vasculitis in the central nervous system - a case report

Abstract

We present a case of a patient with systemic vasculitis suffering - besides heart, skin and gastrointestinal lesions - from the rarely reported involvement of the central nervous system. Even though the diagnosis could not be ascertained precisely, immunosuppressive therapy led to prompt regression of symptoms including initially present neurologic manifestations.
