Diagnosis of Cerebral Vasculitis
The first step in diagnosing Cerebral Vasculitis is considering the diagnosis; the second step is seriously considering all the other nonvasculitic processes that might be at work. There is no historical feature, physical finding, or laboratory test, other than biopsy, that incontrovertibly establishes the diagnosis of CNS Cerebral Vasculitis, primary/isolated or secondary to a systemic vasculitis. Furthermore, all that alters blood flow, even with angiographic evidence of damage, is not necessarily vasculitis (i.e., inflammation of the blood vessel).
