[Isolated central nervous system angiitis and myelodysplastic syndrome: case report].
Isolated central nervous system (CNS) angiitis are vasculitides of undetermined etiology in which only nervous system vessels are affected. In most cases there is no associated systemic disease. We report the case of a 67 years old man with previous hematologic diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome who developed an isolated CNS angiitis.
