Cerebral vasculitis in Henoch-Schönlein purpura: a case report with sequential magnetic resonance imaging.

Neurological complications are rare during the course of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). We report a 5-year-old girl with HSP who presented with seizures. Sequential magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography showed bilateral multifocal cerebral lesions initially, which gradually and completely resolved with clinical improvement. These lesions were compatible with the radiological pattern of the non-hemorrhagic vasculitic involvement of cerebral parenchyma.
