Primary angiitis of the central nervous system: predictors of stroke during immunosuppressant treatment
To evaluate risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients treated for primary angiitis of the central nervous system. Higher degree of stenosis and circular enhancement are associated with a higher likelihood of ischemic strokes, which typically occur between 10 and 20 days after therapy onset. Data obtained from this may prompt closer monitoring or therapy adjustment.
