Aβ-related Angiitis (ABRA)—A Rare Paraneoplastic Cause of Cerebral Vasculitis in a Young Patient: A Pathway From Unspecific Neurological Symptoms to Final Diagnosis

Conclusions: The reported case demonstrates our diagnostic approach and the clinical difficulties in validating a rare cause of encephalopathy in a young patient with nonspecific clinical and neuroradiological findings. Because of the possibility of an effective treatment, it is important to consider ABRA in the differential diagnosis especially when blood tests, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, and angiography show normal results. Since a paraneoplastic genesis is presumed, a search for an underlying tumor disease should be considered.
