Granulomatous angiitis of the CNS revealing a Hodgkin lymphoma

Apart from the iatrogenic effects of treatment, neurologic complications of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) can be divided into direct (meningeal or intracranial/spinal localization) and indirect (paraneoplastic/immune complications).1 Here, we present a patient with granulomatous angiitis of the CNS (GANS) associated with HL that dramatically improved after the treatment of the angiitis by cyclophosphamide, methylprednisolone, and specific chemotherapy.
