[Arteritis in cerebral inflammatory diseases. Diagnostic value of angiography (author's transl)]. 1980

K Zeiler, and G Brunner, and G Schnaberth

Cerebral angiography may sometimes show up inflammatory changes in the brain arteries in cases of tuberculous and acute purulent bacterial meningitis. The arteries at the base of the brain are predominantly affected, in some cases together with peripheral branches. Normal angiograms or non-specific alterations may be expected in patients suffering from non-purulent meningitis and encephalitis. Patients with luetic diseases show circumscribed or diffuse vessel wall lesions which cannot be differentiated from alterations caused by arteriosclerosis. The results are presented of 15 patients suffering from inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system of different aetiology. The morphology and the distribution of the arterial changes in the cerebral angiogram are discussed.

D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1994, Ch24, p6) Pachymeningitis,Meningitides,Pachymeningitides
D008590 Meningoencephalitis An inflammatory process involving the brain (ENCEPHALITIS) and meninges (MENINGITIS), most often produced by pathogenic organisms which invade the central nervous system, and occasionally by toxins, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions. Cerebromeningitis,Encephalomeningitis,Cerebromeningitides,Encephalomeningitides,Meningoencephalitides
