Brain and Vasculitis
Recorded September 2023

Dr. Banerjee shares what you need to know about how systemic vasculitis can impact the brain (including cranial nerve involvement, brain ischemia and hemorrhage, and meningitis/encephalitis). She also discusses diagnosis and treatment strategies, mimics of brain vasculitis, and primary central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis, a very rare form of vasculitis.
