This article discusses central nervous system vasculitis, a clinical and MRI mimic of multiple sclerosis (MS). There is a paucity of discussion of vasculitis in the radiology literature, and many MS neurologists believe that vasculitis is underdiagnosed. Therefore, the authors hope that the readers will find this paper increases their knowledge about CNS vasculitis and improves their ability to differentiate MS from vasculitis.
本文讨论中枢神经系统血管炎,它在临床和磁共振成像(MRI)上与多发性硬化症(MS)相似。放射学文献中对血管炎的讨论较少,许多MS神经科医生认为血管炎诊断不足。因此,作者希望读者会发现本文增加了他们对中枢神经系统血管炎的了解,并提高了他们区分MS和血管炎的能力。
