Abstract

Clinical Neurology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Neurosciences & Neurology Science & Technology
Primary Angiitis of the central nervous system is a rare and poorly understood variant of vasculitis. We narrate a case of a 46-year-old male who presented with new onset refractory status epilepticus mimicking autoimmune encephalitis. In this case we are reporting clues that could be useful for diagnosis and extensive literature review on the topic. (c) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
