Vasculitis of the Nervous System

Systemic and nervous system vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of related disorders, each characterized by vascular inflammation such that it has the potential to cause serious morbidity and mortality if unrecognized and therefore untreated. Systemic vasculitis affects all populations and every nationality and walk of life, from childhood to older age. The first issue of “Vasculitis of the Nervous System” published in the Neurologic Clinics 30 years ago met the urgent need for a clear, concise, and reliable source of epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation, and management of these disorders.
