Abstract:

Primary angiitis is a rare disorder and is difficult to diagnose. A 45 year old female presented with headache and slurred speech with bilateral pyramidal signs. There were lesions in the cranial imaging bilaterally with minimal enhancement. She was put on antitubercular treatment along with steroids by which there was substantial recovery. As the steroids were tapered five months later there was recurrence of symptoms as slurred speech and seizures. Repeated brain imaging showed recurrence of the lesions. An open brain biopsy was suggestive of vasculitic pathology with transmural inflammation of the vessels and fibrinoid necrosis at a few places. A thorough work up for systemic vasculitic disorders was negative. Immunosuppression was initiated with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide was instituted.

Keywords:
