Three unusual mimics of primary angiitis of the central nervous system.
[malignant atrophic papulosis]
To
present
three
rare
mimics
of
primary
angiitis
of
the
central
nervous
system
(
PACNS
)
.
We
describe
3
patients
with
rare
diseases
that
can
mimic
PACNS
at
clinical
presentation
and
neuroimaging
.
We
describe
the
clinical
course
of
these
patients
and
also
present
a
review
of
the
literature
regarding
these
three
diagnoses
.
All
3
patients
presented
with
neurological
symptoms
and
had
abnormal
findings
on
neuroimaging
suggestive
of
PACNS
.
After
detailed
history
,
careful
review
of
systems
,
thorough
laboratory
workup
and
consideration
of
lack
of
a
response
to
immunosuppressive
therapy
,
PACNS
was
ruled
out
with
identification
of
an
alternative
diagnosis
.
PACNS
is
a
rare
disease
and
a
diagnostic
challenge
with
many
differentials
.
A
thorough
investigation
and
awareness
of
unusual
disorders
is
critical
in
avoiding
misdiagnosis
.
