The purpose of this exhibit is:
To review the etiologies of CNS vasculitis and vasculopathy
To illustrate the imaging findings in a variety of CNS vasculitides and vasculopathies
To explain the utility of MRI and particularly susceptibility imaging in the diagnosis and differentiation of CNS vasculitis and vasculopathy from demyelinating disease
• Pathophysiology of CNS vasculitis and vasculopathy
• Review of imaging findings in CNS vasculitis and vasculopathy:
Pattern of distribution
Susceptibility-weighted imaging
Diffusion-weighted imaging
Post-contrast enhancement
Associated findings related to underlying disease
• Sample cases and demyelinating disease mimics
• Summary
