PRECIADO-ROMERO, Fadhya Violeta; CARDONA-RINCON, Alex Darío y DIAZ-MALDONADO, Adriana Soraya. Childhood primary vasculitis of the central nervous system: Case report and literature review. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.4, pp.301-306. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2017.07.005.
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system is an uncommon disease that may affect adults and the paediatric population. It can involve both the medium-large and small sized cerebral blood vessels, and can be associated with inflammatory, infectious, tumour processes, or of idiopathic origin. The case is presented of an adolescent with focal neurological impairment due to right hemiplegia, in whom other more frequent causes of cerebral ischaemia were ruled out. The final diagnosis was Epstein Barr virus associated with primary angiitis of the central nervous system.
