Cerebral Vasculitis

Cerebral vasculitis is a rare disorder characterized by inflammation and damage to the blood vessels in the brain. It affects the small and large arteries, veins and capillaries, and can cause a range of neurological and cerebrovascular complications. Symptoms of cerebral vasculitis can include headache, confusion, seizures, vision loss, stroke and dementia. Treatment depends on the type of vasculitis and can include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs and other medications. Early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral vasculitis can reduce the risk of serious long-term neurological complications.
