The case is described of a coloured woman of 58, previously affected by filaria, who presented with meningo-encephalitis which proved fatal within a month. Pathological anatomy showed granylomatous angiitis with giant cells scattered throughout the brain and the meninges but confined exclusively to the nervous system. Biological and anatomopathological tests were unable to connect this condition with any precise aetiology. The aetiology of granulomatous angiitis is discussed in this connection and the clinical and anatomopathological charateristics peculiar to giant cell granulomatous angiitis of the nervous system are recalled.
本文描述了一位58岁的有色人种女性病例，她曾患丝虫病，现出现脑膜脑炎，在一个月内死亡。病理解剖显示为肉芽肿性血管炎，巨细胞散在分布于整个脑和脑膜，但仅局限于神经系统。生物学和解剖病理学检查未能将此病症与任何确切病因联系起来。就此讨论了肉芽肿性血管炎的病因，并回顾了神经系统巨细胞肉芽肿性血管炎特有的临床和解剖病理学特征。
