title: Radiographic features of central nervous system vasculitis.
abstract: Central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis refers to primary and secondary disorders of the CNS vasculature. Most authorities agree that CNS vasculitis is a potentially serious disorder; therefore, prompt diagnosis and initiation of therapy are high priorities in treatment. Remarkable progress has been made in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of this disorder. This article examines many aspects of the radiographic evaluation of CNS vasculitis.
