COLMAN OZUNA, Víctor Manuel et al. Central nervous system vasculitis. Rev. Inst. Med. Trop. [online]. 2023, vol.18, n.1, pp.90-93. ISSN 1996-3696.  https://doi.org/10.18004/imt/2023.18.1.12.

Primary vasculitis of the Central Nervous System (VPSNC) refers to a group of diseases that result from inflammation and destruction of the blood vessels of the spinal cord, brain and meninges, both in the venous and arterial sector, this can lead to the occlusion or formation of aneurysms, with the consequent ischemic-hemorrhagic alterations.1 The presentation is heterogeneous and little systematizable. The diagnosis is established with a compatible clinical picture, an angiography or biopsy of the brain parenchyma and/or meninges that show vasculitis. We present the case of a patient with a retrovirus with probable NCPSV with compatible symptoms, suggestive imaging findings, with little CSF and EEG alteration.2
