摘要
Isolated angiitis of the central nervous system (IACNS) is a rare form of vasculitis restricted to the CNS. We report-serial MRI findings in a biopsy-proven case of IACNS. MRI showed extensive white matter and subcortical disease. Before specific treatment; neuroimaging showed the development-of new lesions corresponding with an overall progressive clinical course of the illness; the post-treatment MRI showed improvement.
