Cerebral vasculitis in graft-versus-host disease: a case report.
We describe a case of cerebral vasculitis seen on angiography in a patient with a history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) 2 years after match-related bone-marrow transplant. The vasculitis was ascribed to GVHD as other causes were excluded by laboratory tests. Other recent reports of GVHD-related vasculitis have been published, but none with angiographic changes.
