ABSTRACT
Benign angiopathy of central nervous system (BACNS) is rare in children. We report a seven-year-old boy presenting with sudden severe headache and progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) showed diffuse segmental narrowing of major cerebral arteries. Following a course of glucocorticoid, there was complete resolution of vascular lesions and follow-up MRA did not show any evidence of new lesions.
