Popis: The authors present a case history of primary cerebral angiitis with four years of follow-up. The early diagnosis was based on typical clinical symptoms, brain MRI, intracerebral MRA and histology of sural nerve biopsy. Electroneurography suggested peripheral involvement, although the patient did not have clinical signs of peripheral neuropathy. Glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatment resulted in remission. The diagnostic difficulties of primary cerebral vasculitis are also summarized in the discussion.
