Symptoms of cerebral vasculitis

Many people often feel that they have cerebrovascular inflammation problems in their lives. In fact, this disease is still relatively common. Most of them are caused by vasculitis in the body, including large and small blood vessels. This is not an independent disease, but it is enough to cause patients to experience dizziness and headaches, as well as blurred vision and decreased visual function, so it requires special attention and treatment.

How to treat cerebral vasculitis

Cerebral vasculitis is a central nervous system vasculitis, an uncommon clinical entity characterized by vasculitis limited to the CNS vessels, without other overt systemic vasculitis, and although arterioles are most commonly involved, vessels of any size may be involved.

For the treatment of cerebral vasculitis, glucocorticoids should be used alone or in combination with the immunosuppressant cyclophosphamide, which can achieve sustained clinical remission in some patients. The diagnosis of this disease usually requires angiography to confirm characteristic vascular abnormalities and biopsy results of brain parenchyma and pia mater for confirmation, and the prognosis is usually poor.

Symptoms and diagnosis of cerebral vasculitis

Cerebrovasculitis is generally not an independent disease. It is a manifestation of multiple vasculitis involving the cerebral blood vessels. Patients may experience symptoms of headache and dizziness, which is a common symptom in patients with cerebral vasculitis. In addition, patients may also experience symptoms such as diplopia, blurred vision, and decreased vision.

In addition, when the patient's vasculitis affects the cranial and cerebrovascular vessels, some limb symptoms will appear, such as numbness of the limbs or muscle weakness. Some patients may become unconscious or suddenly fall to the ground, accompanied by convulsions of the limbs. Each person's condition is different.

In addition to these cerebrovascular injuries, patients also have some systemic symptoms and multi-system damage, such as kidney damage, lung damage, and some skin manifestations, such as erythema multiforme, nodules, purpuric rash, papules, necrosis and ulcers on the skin. The specific diagnosis depends on the patient's specific condition.
