ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La vasculitis primaria del sistema nervioso central es una enfermedad infrecuente que puede afectar a adultos y población pediátrica. Puede comprometer los vasos sanguíneos cerebrales tanto de mediano o gran calibre como los de pequeño calibre y estar asociada a procesos inflamatorios, infecciosos, tumorales o ser de origen idiopático. Describimos el caso de un adolescente con deterioro neurológico focal dado por hemiplejía derecha en quien se descartaron otras causas más frecuentes de isquemia cerebral, con diagnóstico final de vasculitis primaria del sistema nervioso central asociada a infección por virus de Epstein Barr.


ABSTRACT Primary angiitis of the central nervous system is an uncommon disease that may affect adults and the paediatric population. It can involve both the medium-large and small sized cerebral blood vessels, and can be associated with inflammatory, infectious, tumour processes, or of idiopathic origin. The case is presented of an adolescent with focal neurological impairment due to right hemiplegia, in whom other more frequent causes of cerebral ischaemia were ruled out. The final diagnosis was Epstein Barr virus associated with primary angiitis of the central nervous system.
