[Cerebral vasculitis in children].
Vasculitis is the predominant feature of a large number of diseases in childhood. Cerebral vasculitis are quite common and sometime misinterpreted. They can be to express the direct vascular damage caused by the bacterial, viral, mycotic and protozoal agents; otherwise they can be to arise from some type of immunopathology including the presence of circulating immune complexes, or the prevalent defect of the T-Cells, or else still not well-know. The histological anatomy will to display the leukocytoclastic vasculitis or the granulomatous arteritis, and often will to make clear the pathogenetic's doubts of the clinical features. That is of the paramount importance for the very quick and correct therapy.
