CNS pseudovasculitis in a patient with pheochromocytoma.
The authors report a patient with angiographic findings resembling CNS vasculitis (CNS pseudovasculitis) who was found to have a pheochromocytoma. The angiographic changes resolved after surgical resection of the pheochromocytoma. Pheochromocytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of angiographic findings suggestive of CNS vasculitis.
