Comparison between primary and secondary central nervous system vasculitis in terms of clinical, biochemical, radiological, histopathological features, and outcomes: a single-center retrospective cohort study
In our study, PACNS patients presented more often with pseudotumoral lesions, seizures and small-vessel involvement and lymphocytic histologic pattern. WBC count ≤9.93×10<sup>3</sup>/mm<sup>3</sup> was an independent predictor of PACNS diagnosis.
