Primary central nervous system vasculitis (PCNSV), also known as isolated angiitis of the CNS, is a very rare disease. Its diagnosis represents a challenge for clinicians [1]. The infrequency of the disease and the difficulties in diagnosing this condition correctly are the main reasons for the lack of a reliable registry and epidemiologic data [2].
