Scope note: Inflamación de los vasos sanguíneos en el interior del sistema nervioso central. La vasculitis primaria suele estar causada por factores autoinmunes o idiopáticos, mientras que la vasculitis secundaria está causada por un proceso patológico existente. Las manifestaciones clínicas son muy variables pero incluyen CEFALEA, CONVULSIONES, alteraciones de la conducta, HEMORRAGIAS INTRACRANEALES, ATAQUE ISQUÉMICO TRANSITORIO e INFARTO ENCEFÁLICO.

Scope note: Inflammation of blood vessels within the central nervous system. Primary vasculitis is usually caused by autoimmune or idiopathic factors, while secondary vasculitis is caused by existing disease process. Clinical manifestations are highly variable but include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; behavioral alterations; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; and BRAIN INFARCTION.
