Central Nervous System Vasculitis

Central Nervous System Vasculitis is a rare condition where the blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord become inflamed. This inflammation can disrupt blood flow and lead to various neurological problems, such as headaches, confusion, seizures, or stroke-like symptoms. The exact cause is often unknown, but it may be related to autoimmune diseases, infections, or other underlying health issues. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and sometimes a brain biopsy. Treatment usually includes corticosteroids and other medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, aiming to prevent further damage to the nervous system.
