Cerebellar PACNS in an Elderly Patient Present as a Tumor-Like Mass Lesion: A case Report.

CONCLUSION: Due to variations in clinical presentation and nonspecific findings on imaging studies, PACNS is not easily diagnosed, especially in the aged population. PACNS should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of any CNS dysfunction. PACNS is also an exclusionary diagnosis, so although brain biopsy is limited for its low sensitivity, its application is still important to exclude the possibility of other diseases. Although there have been reports of fulminant cases, PACNS can be treated successfully with immunosuppressant as maintaining therapy. PMID: 31867705 [PubMed - in process]
